Wellbeing

 

Welcome back! 

 

It was so wonderful to see all our students back at school last week. It has certainly been a challenging term and one I’m sure we will never forget! Here are some heart warming messages on why our students love being at school:

 

I love school because I can see my friends(Hannah, Prep)

I love school because I can make friends at school(Lachlan, Prep)

I love school because you can learn. Every activity is fun to do (Margaux, Yr 1)

I love school because I love learning and doing art (Eleonora, Yr 2)

I love school because you learn new things and meet new friends(Lexie, Yr 3)

I love school because you get to socialise with your friends and have fun learning (Gabi, Yr 3)

I love school because you get to see your friends and learn at the same time(Mia, Yr 4)

I love school because I get to go to Lego Club(Oliver S, Year 5)

I love school because it helps my future opportunities (Maeve, Year 6)

 

At St John’s, every class has been engaging in additional Social and Emotional Learning and circle time discussions to help support the wellbeing of our students. If you have any concerns about your child and their transition back, please let us know.
