Wellbeing 

Wellbeing Day Friday 17th May

Our first Wellbeing Day for the year will be held on Friday 17th May. Our Wellbeing Days are an opportunity for students to have fun, take things at a more relaxed pace, and do something different at school. Students will have a day of crafts, a visit from a travelling animal farm, and play board games or watch a movie together. Students can wear casual clothes but there is no donation required on this day. Normal standards for hair and jewellery apply and footwear needs to be appropriate for the activities listed above (not slippers, thongs or slip ons).

Friendology Program

Pilgrim School is excited to share that we have enrolled in the Wellbeing Program Friendology by URStrong. This program is used across many schools around Australia and around the world. The program focuses on creating a culture of kindness at our school. The Friendology program is evidenced based and supports the development of healthy relationships. Friendology champions the research that relationship is a fundamental need for our wellbeing and learning.  We are currently conducting the training for staff before they roll out the program in classrooms. Parents can access the URStrong website using the link below, families can register for free! This is a fantastic library of online resources for parents to access at home.
