You Can Do It

YCDI ( You Can Do It ) is an Australian program that aims to support the development of students with Social and Emotional Learning. It was developed by Dr Michael Bernard, who lectures at Melbourne University. The YCDI program is an evidence based program that supports children to be successful and happy. It helps children develop a positive attitude of themselves, others, their learning and life in general. 

St Fidelis has used this program previously but it has now been updated and offers a digital program which includes lessons for both primary and secondary classes and parent support.

Last year it was decided to make the YCDI program a priority in our school. The students will begin the lessons in Week 3. The lessons in First Term focus on developing student’s understanding of success; putting effort into their work and having a growth mindset.  

As part of the parent support we will be including articles about parenting in our newsletter and we encourage all parents to access and read these.

The first articles are in this week's newsletter and can help to guide parents in developing your children's wellbeing.
