Students from Prep to Year 6 have begun participating in our whole school Wellbeing program, ‘Friendology’. The URSTRONG Friendology curriculum provides teachers with kid-friendly concepts that help kids establish + maintain healthy relationships, manage conflict with kindness, and increase their overall resilience. Students will participate in 8 sessions in Term 1 that are designed to help students navigate ‘tricky situations’ that are relevant to their peer groups.

In upcoming newsletters I will share the ‘language of friendship’ that students and teachers will adopt over these sessions which will further support in ensuring a whole school approach is adopted to its full potential. URSTRONG offer free membership to parents.  If you would like to utilise these fabulous resources please go to the website:  https://urstrong.com/parents/ 

We hope to have the parent community partake in an interactive workshop, ‘Language of Friendship’, run by a URSTRONG facilitator later in the year. 

All years will learn and constantly reflect on the 4 Friendship Facts when navigating relationships. I think they’re a great reminder for adults too!
