Student Wellbeing Update
Zones of Regulation
Zones of Regulation is a wellbeing program that is implemented across the school at Echuca Twin Rivers School. It is a program that aims to support emotional regulation and provide strategies to help students to de-escalate and return to the Green Zone, the zone for optimal learning. Zones of Regulation assists our students to identify the emotions they are feeling and which strategies to use to support them when they are in each of those Zones. Students set up their own toolbox and have a selection of strategies that best suit their needs depending on the Zone they are in.
Mental Health in Primary Schools Update
At the end of last term, Mental Health in Primary Schools (MHIPS) paper surveys were sent home with children who are in Grade 2 and Grade 4. These surveys are pivotal in evaluating the effectiveness of the initiatives that we implement this year to support positive mental health in our students.
#NB: If you have already filled this survey out online, you do not need to do this again. If you have more than one child in these grades, you only need to fill out 1 survey.
Circle Solutions Update
Our school has implemented Circle Solutions in every classroom, everyday. Circle Solutions are having a positive impact on classroom culture and this initiative aims to build positive relationships between staff and students as well as between students too.
Be sure to ask your child about Circles and what we do during this time.
