Student Wellbeing
Vianney's Values - RESPECT
We have been focusing on the value of respect. The students have been learning about how you can show respect to others, with a particular focus on staff, classmates and friends. It would be great if you could continue the discussion at home and use the same language, to help embed our values into our school community.
What do the students think?
Grade 1/2 FP

Grade 4

Grade 6
Liam: Helping people when they need it.
Gigi: Treating others how you like to be treated. You need to think about what you say to people before you say it.
Emotional Regulation and Respect
We are exploring the connection between our emotions and actions. When we are experiencing uncomfortable emotions, such as frustration or worry, it can have a significant impact on our thoughts and actions.
Some classes have been discussing the importance of using coping strategies to help you feel calm, so you can communicate calmly and respectfully,
The Zones of Regulation is a good resource to enhance the children's awareness of emotional literacy. If you are in the blue, yellow or red zone, it can affect how you interact with others. We need to use coping strategies to help our body (the amygdala in the brain) feel calm again. Once you are feeling calm, then you can communicate in a respectful way.
