Curriculum Day: Berry Street Education Model 

Last Monday, all ASPS staff participated in day 1 of the Berry Street Education Model training which was focused on understanding the body's physical response to stress we respond differently to regulation strategies. Building on our school's Visible Wellbeing and Positive Behaviour (Prevent, Teach, Reinforce) approaches, The Berry Street Education Model training will provide our staff with additional evidence-informed strategies and tools to meet diverse learning needs, enhance student engagement, self-regulation, relationships, wellbeing, and academic achievement.

Jack's Letterbox

Jack's Letterbox
Jack's Letterbox

You may have noticed the bright and colorful mailbox in our office! This special letterbox was generously donated by the Davey family in loving memory of their son, Jack. With Jack being an avid basketball fan (playing and watching), the current letterbox theme celebrates the NBA finals! Jack's letterbox is more than just decoration — it’s a symbol of connection and purposeful rememberance.

 

The Davey family hopes that Jack's Letterbox will become a meaningful way for students and staff to share messages of kindness, gratitude, and hope across our school.

 

Stay tuned for updates and be sure to contribute your own messages!
