Our Discovery Mathematician of the Week - Austin Flavel. Here he is in action modelling to the class how to create a picture graph and get himself out of the Learning Pit. Well done Austin.
Every term, we're fortunate to have several staff members eager to lead break activities for our students. These activities cater to a variety of interests, from unleashing creativity to getting active. We encourage all students to explore new skills and join in on these exciting opportunities. Below, you'll find this term's break activities timetable, so please encourage your child to try something different. If your child has a particular interest or skill they'd like to explore during break activities, we're always open to new ideas and suggestions.
At Wodonga South Primary School, we are committed to supporting the holistic development of our students, not just academically but also emotionally and mentally. That's why we've teamed up with The Resilience Project, an organization renowned for their incredible work in promoting positive mental health and well-being among young people.
What is The Resilience Project, you ask? Well, they're on a mission to empower individuals to build resilience and happiness through practical, evidence-based strategies. Their approach focuses on three key pillars: gratitude, empathy, and mindfulness. By cultivating these traits, students can develop the resilience they need to navigate life's challenges with strength and positivity.
So, what does our partnership with The Resilience Project mean for our school community? It means that we'll be integrating their proven strategies and resources into our curriculum and school culture. From mindfulness exercises in the classroom to gratitude journals at home, we're excited to explore new ways to support the well-being of our students, teachers, and families.
We believe that every member of our school community deserves to thrive, and we're confident that our partnership with The Resilience Project will help us do just that. Together, let's cultivate resilience, foster happiness, and build a stronger, healthier future for all!
