Wellbeing & Engagement 

Be Sure to Check out the Friendship Ninja Zone At Eastland this Month!

This year we have started the friendship program URSTRONG with our Year 3/4 students.

The skills-based program teaches children how to put a voice to their feelings, create healthy friendships, and build a solid foundation for future relationships. Along with learning what’s normal in a friendship and the difference between healthy and unhealthy friendships, students also learn and practice URSTRONG’s step-by-step approach for putting out common Friendship Fires (i.e. conflict) and how to combat Mean-on-Purpose behaviour like a ninja.

Our USTRONG focus this month has been GRATITUDE. Our Year 3/4 students happily decorated gratitude posters that are now on display at the Friendship Ninja Zone at Eastland. Also on display is some of the artwork the children created with Mrs Bosomworth. The children did a wonderful job so be sure to check it!
