Wellbeing News

Congratulations to our new Wellbeing Leaders who are very excited to be able to lead our school in this area this year!

Class meetings

Last Monday we began our weekly class meetings, focusing on our school expectations and students giving ideas of what clubs they would like to see happening this term.  I look forward to sorting through these ideas with our Wellbeing leaders, for clubs to begin next week.

Wellbeing Hour

Next Friday we launch our Wellbeing Hour, which this term will be focusing on the following-

Self Awareness 

- to develop a healthy sense of who you are, and better understand your thoughts and feelings

The resources from The Resilience Project and Respectful Relationships will be used to develop and understand what Self Awareness is for each and every student.  Specifically each year level will focus on the following from the Personal and Social Capabilities strand of the Victorian Curriculum.

Year 3 & 4-

Identify personal strengths and select  personal qualities that could be further developed
