Incursion with Project RockIt
On Friday 4th March the MLA students participated in an incursion run by Project Rockit called BELONG. Belong unites students to build an inclusive school community, by developing empathy to combat social exclusion and increase awareness of diverse perspectives.
Sarah and Amy worked with the students to examine the idea of ‘what's normal?' and built an understanding of strength in diversity and how we need to celebrate our unique personalities, strengths and traits. Students were encouraged to think about what makes them unique while having a dance party.
The students spoke about having empathy for those who experience social exclusion. They were motivated to continue to create a welcoming school environment at St Joseph the Worker by…
- Staying true to themselves
- Understanding that our differences make us strong
- To stand up if they see things that aren’t okay
With the help of Sarah and Amy we co-designed a list of strategies that we can use to build inclusion within our school community.
