Learning Diversity
Vision for Engagement -our over arching expectations and engagement practices Part 2 of 6.
Fostering Belonging
Belonging is the experience of being accepted, respected and connected. Research shows that a sense of belonging is beneficial for learning (Walten and Cohen 2011;Immordino-Yang, Darling-Hammond&Krone 2019).
When students feel valued, respected and connected to their peers and teachers, they are more likely to participate actively in school life.
Establishing strong teacher-student relationships is backed by evidence, as positive
interactions with teachers help students feel seen and supported (AERO 2023c).
At St St Bede's we currently have a focus on:
Leadership welcoming children and families to school each day
Staff knowing each child by name (not just those in their class)
Strong school-family connections
Community building events such as Trivia Night, Father/Child Camp and Liturgical and Sacramental Celebrations.
