Wellbeing

The first two and a half weeks of the term students engage with our Start Up program which focuses on building new relationships and setting up the classroom environment for a successful year. It gives students the opportunity to spend time connecting with classmates and their teacher and gives them ownership of the Classroom Norms and expectations.

Throughout the term, we will focus specifically on Personal and Cultural Strengths as part of the Respectful Relationships program. We will learn about:

• Identifying and describing the personal and cultural strengths of both themselves and others.
• Understanding how personal and cultural strengths can be used at school and home.
• Why it is important to value personal and cultural strengths that are different from our own.

Our Visible Wellbeing focus this term will be about Coping. Students will learn more about the ways in which they can use coping skills and strategies to solve problems and balance the demands of life.
