Respectful Relationships

Foundation - RRRR

In Foundation, students have been learning about stress management.

Why is it important?

Stress is a normal part of life, especially as children get older. Children who cope better with life’s stressors develop good mental health and wellbeing. Assisting students recognise their personal signs and symptoms of stress to develop strategies that will help them to deal with those effectively, will help them cope with challenges in the future.
