SCHOOL OF PLAY - CURRICULUM DAY
Celebrating the Power of Play at Our School
Partnering with The School of Play for Lasting Well-being
We are pleased to share with our families that our school has proudly partnered with The School of Play, an innovative, research-backed program and curriculum designed to strengthen both our staff and student’s physical and mental well-being through the power of play. Through engaging, play-based sessions with students and professional development with staff, this collaboration has made a significant and lasting impact on the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of our school community.
The program's playful approach has helped our students build stronger social connections, boost resilience, increase engagement, and experience more joy at school. Staff have also benefited from a revitalised team culture, improved connection, and practical strategies for building connections with their students and creating new learning resources, proving that play is powerful at every age.
We're excited to share that Dale and Paul, the Directors of The School of Play have just released a brand-new book titled 365 Days of Play – The Ultimate Family Companion for Connection, Happiness, and Well-being. This daily resource is filled with quick, fun, and science-backed activities designed to bring families closer together through play.
We have copies available for staff at school, and we believe this book would be a wonderful addition to every home in our community. It's a chance to extend the benefits of play beyond the walls of our classrooms and strengthen family bonds, sparking creativity, and making every day just a little more joyful. We would love for our families to connect with the work we are doing in our classrooms and take the power of play over the school fence and into their homes. We know that many families would welcome the opportunity to learn some new fun and engaging ways to build stronger relationships at home and here is your chance to pick up an excellent resource for the coffee table in your home.
Let's keep playing, connecting, and thriving together!
