The importance of wellbeing lies in its ability to help students understand who they are, recognise their strengths, and harness their abilities. This self-awareness enables them to flourish academically, socially, spiritually, and emotionally, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life. Throughout the term, there are many opportunities that students take part in to enhance their wellbeing.
Year 5 Camp
We are excited that our Year 5 students will be heading to Woodhouse in the Adelaide Hills during Week 5 for an unforgettable camp experience. This camp is designed to challenge students, promote teamwork, and build independence. Throughout the week, students will participate in a variety of activities including:
- Bouldering
- Challenge Hill
- Disc Golf
- Ice Blocking
- Labyrinth
- Laser Skirmish
- Survivor
- Team Challenges
- Tube Slide
These activities are not only fun but also provide valuable opportunities for personal growth and the development of important life skills. We look forward to seeing our students rise to the challenges and support each other as they navigate these adventures.
Peaceful Kids Program
Our Peaceful Kids program continues to make a positive impact by teaching students resilience and strategies to cope with difficult situations. This program helps students build connections with their peers and develop a deeper understanding of their emotions. Through guided activities and discussions, students learn to manage stress and enhance their emotional wellbeing.
Zones of Regulation
The Zones of Regulation program is integral to our approach in teaching students about emotional awareness. By recognising and understanding their emotions, students can better manage their responses and interactions with others. This program helps create a supportive and empathetic school environment where everyone can thrive.
Character Strengths Awards
Each week, we celebrate students who display a specific character strength. These students are acknowledged at our weekly assembly, highlighting their positive contributions to our school community. This recognition not only celebrates individual achievements but also inspires all students to cultivate their own character strengths.
Student Retreats
Our student retreats offer a time for reflection and spiritual growth. During these retreats, students explore their understanding of who God is and develop the character strength of spirituality. These retreats provide a serene environment for students to reflect on their personal journey and strengthen their spiritual foundation.
All these exciting events and programs contribute to the holistic development of our students. Thank you for your continued support in making our school a nurturing and dynamic learning environment.
