Introducing our Wellbeing Team

With the start of a new year, we thought it was a good idea to reintroduce everyone to our Wellbeing Team.

 Julie Reid is our Assistant Principal of Wellbeing and Inclusion.She has been with the school for many years and worked as part of the Wellbeing team before becoming the Assistant Principal. She has many years of experience and is a great Wealth of Knowledge for the team.

Some programs that we offer at Croydon Hills Primary School.

Please click on the titles of the programs for more information.

URSTRONG/ Friendology is all about empowering kids with friendship skills!  We use this program as a skills-based strategy that teaches kid-friendly concepts, skills and language to help them build and maintain healthy friendships.

Respectful Relationships is a core component of the Victorian Curriculum, all about embedding a culture of respect and equality.

Peaceful Kids is a mindfulness and positive psychology program we introduce in small groups of 4-6 students at a time. This program is facilitated and organized by the Wellbeing Team.  

Seasons for Growth is a small-group evidence-based education program for children and young people aged 6-18 years. This program addresses various types of change, loss and grief we can go through. This program is facilitated and organised by the Wellbeing team.

We also have Helping Hands which is a leadership development, inclusivity and well-being program where senior students encourage and support students across the whole school, from preps to their peers through running activities and games during playtimes.

Whilst these programs are the main programs that we run yearly, we also run small group programs that are needs based when the need arises created individually for the participating students.
