Wellbeing Team
Proactively responding the mental health needs of our students
Professional Learning Opportunity
Opt in Professional Learning.
Come and join the Wellbeing team on Thursday in week 3 (02/05/2024) for the Opt-In professional learning.
We will be building on the new knowledge gained during the curriculum day last term with the Australian Childhood Foundation about Trauma Informed Practices.
The Wellbeing Team will be discussing what trauma informed practices you are already doing in the classroom with your students, as well as exploring additional practical classroom strategies to support your every day practice.
We look forward to seeing you then!
