Middle Report (3/4)

Emotional Growth

Our Middle Learning Community students are beginning to understand and manage their feelings more effectively with increasing awareness and resilience. They are developing the skills required to recognise and articulate their feelings, whether it's the feeling of joy by being successful in a maths problem or the frustration of being challenged in a learning task; they're learning to express their emotions and thoughts with growing clarity and act with an appropriate response.

Hear what our students have to say about their emotional growth and how this has helped them achieve success in the videos below: 

Circle Time

Our classrooms encourage open dialogue and promote conversations around empathy, helping students understand and support each other in a safe space. One of the strategies we use in the classroom to support this is through 'circle time.' Throughout the week, students have multiple opportunities to share things such as:

• What they are grateful for
• How they are feeling
• Challenges they have faced 
• Successful moments 

Mindfulness

Our students participate in various activities and discussions to assist them in understanding emotions and how to cope with associated feelings. They are using strategies and tools such as mindfulness and breathing exercises to help them self-regulate and find a sense of calm throughout the day. As they learn to embrace their emotions and positively navigate these, students are laying the groundwork for a future where emotional intelligence plays a vital role in their personal and academic success.

Listen to one of our students talk about what mindfulness looks like in the Middle Community in the video below:
