Year 9 Wellbeing Lesson Experiences

Programs that teach emotional intelligence in schools have lasting impact. Social-emotional learning teaches our students to recognize and understand their emotions, feel empathy, make decisions and build and maintain relationships.

Year 9 have embarked on this journey, sharing stories about their own feelings. Hearing about the emotional experiences of others helps students understand helpful ways to express and regulate emotions.

A recent lesson on insights goals and expectations taught them about motivation, efficiency, productivity, creativity and problems solving goals. Students ended the session with colouring to music, a self soothing activity that we can do to wind down if we are feeling stressed.
