Wellbeing Information

Port Adelaide Football Club

During the final weeks of Term 3 our students in Years 4-6 worked with members of the PAFC to explore healthy lifestyles, and the benefit this has on our mental, and physical wellbeing.

Hannah Ewings, Sachi Syme, Alissa Brook, and Hayden (a Flinders University student on placement with the PAFC) returned to Modbury in Week 10 to host STEM sessions in the gym with our students. Following this, the players hosted a full school assembly, where students had the opportunity to play games and win prizes.

Wakakirri

During the holidays our Wakakirri students and support staff came into school to rehearse their performance item. the students have worked incredibly hard over the last two terms and are looking forward to competing at the event in the coming weeks. 

Unlocking a bright future: the power of the first 1000 days

The Australian Primary Principals, Association (APPA) is committed to supporting families in ensuring every child has the best start in life. They have partnered with early childhood professionals to produce the Thrive with Five paper. 

In the first 1000 days of a child's life, their brain grows really fast. Every time they see, hear, or touch something, it helps their brain make new connections. Eating healthy food and getting good sleep are very important because they help the child grow strong. When parents show love and care, it helps the child feel safe and learn to trust others. Playing and exploring help children learn to talk and become curious, which makes learning easier as they get older.

Families benefit from a supportive community, ensuring both they and the child thrive. Our school is part of a supportive community, and we want to partner with families to shape a lifetime of benefits for every child.
