Mrs Rebecca Beveridge

Wow, this term has flown by!!! It has been such a fantastic term full of learning and fun!

REACH Foundation Incursion

Next Term, on Wednesday, 23rd April and Wednesday, 21st May, the 4/5 students will have a Wellbeing incursion facilitated by The REACH Foundation. 

 

The first workshop will focus on 'Peer Connections, ' which aims to create a safe space for students to express themselves. Peer connections aim to build a positive peer dynamic within the classroom and foster empathy, curiosity, and understanding of others.

 

The Second workshop will focus on 'Teamwork', which involves students developing personal accountability for improving the school experience for themselves and others. 

They will be involved in team-based activities and comprehensive discussions. Students will develop an understanding of how behaviour and the choices we make can impact others.

 

You may be wondering about the REACH Foundation. Below are some resources that you may wish to look at. 

At REACH, everyone is welcome to use their strategies to help them feel relaxed and engaged during the workshop.
