SOCIAL SQUADS

Purpose of the Program:

Our whole school Social Squad program aims to build school connectedness, increase positive social behaviour, and support the school's values of Respect, Kindness, and Courage. By students working with their Social Squads, it creates a friendly and supportive environment where students learn about caring for others, consideration, respect, valuing difference, and inclusiveness. Social Squads will join together twice a term to celebrate events and support with school wide transition.

When My Brain is Messy

Meet a little autistic dinosaur with a big heart and even bigger feelings. From the challenges of loud noises and bright lights to the need for deep pressure and moments of calm, this heartfelt story offers a gentle, relatable way to explore sensory and emotional needs.

Written in simple, engaging rhyme and paired with vibrant illustrations, this book helps children:

Recognise and express their sensory needs.

Feel seen and validated in their emotions.

Discover techniques for finding balance and regulation.

Watching the dinosaur’s tummy light up with a happy rainbow when it feels regulated, your child will see their own journey reflected back to them with warmth and hope.

Inspired by the real-life experiences of an autistic mother, this story is more than just a book. It’s a message of hope, understanding, and celebration for neurodivergent children and their families.

Whether you’re the parent of a neurodivergent child, a caregiver, a therapist, or a teacher, this book is a heartfelt way to spark conversations, build empathy, and create connections.

Perfect for ages 2-8

Recommended by psychologists, occupational therapists, and teachers.
