Directed Play at Queen of Peace

Directed Play occurs each recess and lunchtime. Students are supported by a teacher in forming new friendships, learning how to build self-confidence and develop social capabilities.

A variety of directed play activities are available for students. This type of play fosters the development of the whole child and builds students cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills.  

All levels are invited to join and encouraged to attend when the outside hustle and bustle gets too much. Encourage your child to attend Directed Play throughout the week. The timetable is below. Please note that this is also subject to change.

Teaching Assertiveness

Teaching assertiveness is key to raising a strong and confident child.

Few of us are born assertive, and the fear of seeming rude or selfish can prevent us from advocating for ourselves. 

But being assertive is far from being rude. Assertive children know how to stand up for themselves (and others) without being hurtful or mean. They can say “no,” communicate clearly, and maintain positive relationships.

With practice, we can help our children master this powerful ability.
