<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year we launched a new initiative into our school. We partnered with Dogs Connect and we introduced a wellbeing dog into our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clover has become a much loved and important member of life at Oxley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clover is an Australian Cobber Dog, a breed developed to be an excellent therapy and assistance dog. She is hypoallergenic and was chosen from her litter by the breeder especially for Oxley because she is \u201ca gentle, caring, responsive puppy. She is very focused; tail always wagging and will cope well with being a part of a school environment\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dogs Connect Program will support us in implementing Clover gradually, thoroughly, and considerately.  Evidence shows that just by being near a dog can reduce anxiety and stress and improve wellbeing outcomes. A wellbeing dog can help with a number of things including trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation and the general wellbeing of students, staff and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a team of staff who will lead this program. <\/p>\n\n\n

We would also like to assure our families that this program will not involve anyone who does not wish to be involved and would welcome discussion with anyone who may be worried or concerned. Our aim is for Clover and this wellbeing program to have a really positive impact on many people in our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
