Wellbeing

Welcome back to Term 2 and hope everyone enjoyed the school holidays with family and friends.  

Tuesday lunch-time Lego Club is back up and running this week.  Many students enjoy attending the club as it is a fantastic way to engage in creative play, socialisation and learning.  

We are hoping to have an art and craft lunch-time club up and running next week supported by our student wellbeing leaders.  

The Resilience Project at Broadmeadows Primary School; 

Providing opportunities for students to practise and reflect on the GEM+EL principles outside of the lessons is one of the best ways to develop healthy habits and behaviours.   We have these posters displayed in the student learning spaces.
