Powerful Kids incursion for Grade 3/4 students and what they learnt.

3/4ST - I learnt:

to always be kind on the playground
how to put out a friendship fire by talking it out
that you always need to respect others even if they have hurt you
if someone hurts you, never hurt them back
that if someone hurts you, you cannot hold a grudge forever
it is never okay to retaliate
it is important to give someone space if they are feeling hurt.

3/4TR - I learnt:

the importance of eye contact
how to look at someone in the eye when you are talking to them
that I don’t always have to go to a teacher if there is a problem. Instead, we could first try to calmly work it out amongst ourselves
that boys can play with girls & girls can play with boys
little problems with friends don’t need to mean the friendship is over. You can work through it!
that a friendship fire is when problems build and build. To put out a friendship fire we need to not ignore friends, include them and speak nicely. Instead of just apologizing you need to also do something. Sorry doesn’t mean anything unless you make a positive change to your actions
that there doesn’t need to be a friend in charge. We can all stand up for ourselves!

Moira Allied Health - Occupational Therapy in Schools

Occupational therapists work with children and young people of all abilities to support participation at school to achieve their best outcomes from their education. Each person is an individual, so their needs will be to. MOIRA’s occupational therapists conduct assessments to identify individual goals, strengths and barriers to learning, then recommend strategies or changes to the environment to increase a student’s capacity to participate.

Advanced Psychology

AP is a newly established private practice, that aims to improve the quality of life for individuals and families. Even though our psychologists have years of experience, as we are a new practice, we have immediate availability for referrals for therapy and assessments, available both face-to-face and via Telehealth.

AP provides assessments for Specific Learning Disorder (such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia), Autism, and ADHD for clients of all ages. We offer therapeutic services for a range of mental health conditions commonly present in children, adolescents, and adults, such as emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, stress, sleep issues, inattentiveness, and challenging behaviour. We work closely with individuals as well as the whole family to develop healthy and sustainable long-term coping mechanisms in order for them to thrive in all areas of their lives.
