Welcome back to Term 4, it’s hard to believe we are already heading into Week 2. Over the next few weeks we are going to see some significant changes to our home / onsite learning experience. It will be important to ensure that the students are aware of their timetable for each week, which days they will be at school and the days they will be at home continuing with their home learning activities. Setting up a new routine such as having a schedule up, uniforms out, bags packed the night before and ready for school days may assist with alleviating pressure to be ready and out the door each day. Please read all correspondence carefully and make note of dates provided.

This term, our Year 3 to 6 students will be participating in the Pivot Wellbeing for Learning survey. This survey aims to help schools better support student wellbeing and to give students more voice and agency in their learning communities. Pivot is a leading education technology company based in Melbourne that provides research-based guidance to help schools improve the learning environment so that students can thrive. 

The students will initially complete a 10-15 minute survey consisting of 15 questions. In the subsequent 5 weeks they will complete a one minute survey,  answering 5 questions. The questions are designed to measure student wellbeing in the areas of safety, belonging, and resilience. 

The students have completed an introductory session, learning about the meaning of wellbeing and the impact their wellbeing can have on their readiness to learn. The data collected will assist staff in providing a well-balanced program, focusing on the needs of our students as they return to onsite learning.

Stay safe and take care,
