Student Wellbeing

Term 3

 

As Term 3 begins to wind down, I reflect upon how our students and families have yet again shown resilience and adaptability navigating the challenges this term has presented. 

Taking the time to reflect with our children on ways they have handled challenges, solved problems, managed friendship concerns or reached goals is a valuable strategy on many levels. 

 

Reflecting can bring happiness and gratitude, help us think of alternate ways to manage situations should they occur again and identify how we have achieved goals.     

 

Some questions to ask could be: 

• What were you most proud of this term and why?

• What was a challenge you experienced in the past term? 

• How did you overcome your challenge and what did you learn from this? 

• How were you a good friend this past term?   

• What was something new you learnt about your friendships?

R U OK? Day 

R U OK? Day is our national day of action dedication to reminding everyone that every day is the day to ask, “Are you OK?” and support those struggling with life’s ups and downs.

 

As a school we will be utilising many of the wonderful resources to support our students to ask “Are you OK?” and how to encourage action and provide support.  Our SRC representatives will be working together with the Wellbeing and Engagement Leaders to promote these strategies.
