Workshops: Respectful Relationships
'Sticks & Stones' Follow Up Classes
On Thursday 23 May, Brainstorm Productions presented their student wellbeing performance ‘Sticks & Stones' for Year 7+8. Since the performance, students have been working with Wellbeing and Junior School teachers in two follow-up workshops designed to develop strategies for managing emotions, seeking help and building respectful relationships.
The topics in the first workshop included a class discussion on the play with student voice, anger thermometer and anger triggers activities, a meditation to calm yourself and release anger and where to seek help if required. The second workshop focused more on the differences between the Fight/Flight/Freeze responses in the body and looking at the difference between anger, agression and assertiveness.
We reconfirmed the importance of not being a bystander and how to use social, thinking and physical tools to manage emotions.
Coordinator Messages
It has been very pleasing to see the students remembering to put their phones in their locker during the school day. A further reminder that locks are still open on many lockers during the school day, please discuss the importance of this with your students to keep their property safe.
