Student Well-being

Spotlight: Year 1/2 Community

Focus:  Emotions

As we settle back into routine of the classroom, the Year 1/2 community have been working on their skills of identifying emotions. With so much happening in the world at the moment, being able to identity different emotions in both themselves and in others is becoming more and more vital. 

We have also been learning about strategies that we can use when we are feeling strong emotions. This helps us return back to a calm, comfortable and stable state.  

Drawing inspiration from movie clips such as Inside Out has helped make this difficult idea something that our community are able to understand and continue developing.

I am feeling so excited to start the Born to Shine wellbeing program next term! Thank you so much for filling out the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. We are collating the data and will let you know if your child has been selected to take part in this program by the end of the term.
