Wellbeing

Garden Club

 

We are Developing Skills and Competencies at OLA using one of our wellbeing programs called Learning Curve.

The Learning Curve promotes Positive Education.  This  involves intentionally and explicitly teaching young people how to develop the skills and competencies to grow their brain’s abilities, called the cognitive domain while at the same time teaching them how to acquire the skills of social-emotional resilience, called the non-cognitive domain so that they can live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

 

School Representative Council (SRC) 

SRC members met again this term to collaboratively plan a wellbeing lesson from Learning Curve. The benefits of listening to and acting on student voice include:

  • increasing student's engagement in learning
  • encouraging collaboration between students and their teachers
  • creating and maintaining a positive environment and culture
  • building respectful relationships, connections and belonging
  • developing personal and social capabilities.

 

SRC members  have planned and will deliver a Wellbeing lesson to their class in the coming weeks.
