Positive Behaviour for Learning

This week our focus has been 'I am respectful when I use kind words and actions everywhere and always.' Encouraging kids to be kind and show empathy helps build strong social and emotional skills, leading to healthier relationships, better conflict resolution, and higher self-esteem. It also fosters compassion, resilience, and a positive sense of self, which prepares them to navigate social situations and contribute positively to their communities as they grow.
