Learning Hub & Wellbeing
'The Hub has become a real asset in our school, highly valued by staff and students alike.'
Step Up - Transition
This term we run our Step Up Program to help support both students and parents prepare and transition to a new year level. Transition includes possible new teacher, new room and different students in the class. We need to consider all these changes and prepare and empower our students in managing change. This program involves a four step process. This experience provides opportunities to meet new classmates and talk about the similarities and differences in their new grades as well as becoming familiar with a new physical learning environment.
In the coming weeks our students will visit learning spaces with the aim to familiarise them with the classroom environment.
In the next step students will be given additional opportunities to mix with students in their existing and new year levels. Many of our students will be provided with additional transition support facilitated by our Wellbeing team.
On the 6th December student gather in their new class groups with their 2023 teacher.
Parents can also support this transition by talking positively to their children about the next stage of their learning journey. Engaging our children in the process empowers them to face the changes with confidence and gives them permission to accept the feelings and possible apprehensions that might arise along the way.
We know that providing a thoroughly planned transition is the best way to assist our students and ultimately reduce the amount of anxiety experienced and begin a new year feeling positive and secure.
Lunch Clubs
Making lunch times extra special!
We have a variety of lunch clubs our students can attend to learn, socialise with groups of multi-age students, 'take a break' from the playground or try something new. Lunch Clubs provide students with other options of play rather than outside play during half of their lunch.
