Student Wellbeing

Student Wellbeing

The wellbeing of our students is really important as we seek to have happy, healthy, and active kids at EPS. This year throughout the school we will have a dedicated Wellbeing time each afternoon with teachers using a variety of resources to support the mental, physical, social, and emotional wellbeing of our students. We employ a range of strategies including circle time and restorative practice discussions in addition to our key programs which include:

The Resilience Project focusing on gratitude, empathy, mindfulness (G.E.M) and ways to practice these in everyday life with emotional literacy included to promote positive mental health
Resilience, Rights, and Respectful Relationships to develop social, emotional, and positive relationship skills
The Zones of Regulation guiding students in becoming more aware of and independent in controlling their impulses, sensory needs and improving their conflict resolution skills.
A student’s wellbeing affects every aspect of their time at school and as such teachers are responsive to the needs and issues affecting their individual classes when deciding on which wellbeing activities to employ each day.
