Principal's Message

Children’s mental health is fundamental to their development and learning. Good mental health means having a positive sense of wellbeing, coping with challenges and being able to realise individual potential.

When we talk about mental health we are not talking about illness.  We are talking about being supported as human beings and learning how to manage our feelings if we feel worried or sad.

Our teachers are amazing at setting up classroom environments that help our kids understand their emotions and learn how to regulate so they can learn.  Our specialist programs support students to be active and creative which also helps our wellbeing.

A new program is being trialled at the moment called “Rocks and Water” The Rock and Water program is an experience that provides young people a pathway to self-awareness, increased self-confidence and social functioning.  As we know that healthy connections to others helps support our mental wellbeing.

 

Kind regards Teresa
