SOCIAL EMOTIONAL WELL BEING

Social and Emotional Learning: In addition to daily morning meeting time and ongoing social emotional support, students also attend specific PSHME lessons approximately once per week During these times students specifically investigate social interaction and social skills. Most conflicts are resolved with the help of the teachers, however, we do have a full time counselor for Primary students should the need arise for specialised support

Based on CASEL's framework, our PSHME lessons are organised around the following competencies:

Self-Awareness: Recognizing one ' s emotions, strengths, weaknesses, and values, and understanding how they impact behavior and decision-making

Self-Management: Regulating emotions, setting and working toward goals, managing stress, and practicing self-discipline.

Social Awareness: Empathizing with and understanding the feelings, perspectives, and experiences of others, and showing respect for diversity.

Relationship Skills: Building and maintaining positive and healthy relationships, including effective communication, conflict resolution, and cooperation.

Responsible Decision-Making: Making ethical and constructive choices based on considering consequences and the well-being of oneself and others.

In the Primary Years, we have Grade 5 Prefects, with each prefect taking on a specific portfolio: School Relations; Charity; Academic; The Arts; Sports; Pastoral; and Environmental The general portfolio for the role of a Prefect is to promote the PY Values on a day-to-day basis and to be role models for students. The prefects are encouraged to bring out initiatives which are implemented with the guidance of the teachers These responsibilities help them build their leadership and teambuilding skills and help in enhancing their confidence.
