Student and Staff Wellbeing
Canine Comprehension
Canine Comprehension is wrapping up for term 1.
Primary Sub School
Our Primary sub school students have enjoyed George and Judy's visit each week this term. George has enjoyed showing off his tricks and having 1:1 time with each student whilst he gets lots of treats, pats and some cuddles.
Middle and Secondary Sub Schools
This week, students played some games with Victor. Students took turns to ask Victor to roll a 12 sided dice. Each number represented a different trick. Each time Victor did a trick he was given a treat. Each session was ended with students working together to keep Victor super calm. Whilst Victor was laying calmly, students created an outline of him using Jenga blocks.
