WELLBEING 

We have finally reached the last week of Term 2 and this coming Friday 24th June is a School Closure Day for students. The staff will  continue on their professional development journey in Reframing Learning and Teaching Environments (ReLATE).

One of the many areas of the staff professional development within ReLATE is recognising the impact that Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have on the developing body and brain of a child and the lasting impacts into adulthood. It also gives education professionals tools, knowledge, skills and resources that enable them to be cognisant of the impacts of adverse experiences on engagement, learning, health and wellbeing.

Combining educational research, social science, behavioural theory and neuroscience, ReLATE supports teachers to implement practical strategies in their classrooms. Furthermore, within ReLATE, wellbeing is understood as an essential precondition for quality teaching and learning. Safe, predictable and supportive learning environments are created and maintained in classrooms where students and staff are not just known, but deeply understood.
