Going home today for students in Year 3-7 is  further information about the iheart program that is currently being taught by myself and Ros Oates.  Each week students from 3-7 have participated in an hour session about innate wellbeing and resilience. Iheart, which stands for Innate Health Education and Resilience Training, is a program that has been designed to help our children learn about how to experience more of that clarity, perspective, security and resilience – more often. This in turn will begin to build a  sustainable culture of resilience and well-being across the whole school.  

As well as sessions being taught in classrooms -  staff are also participating in the Teacher Wellbeing And Resilience course. All staff and students will be speaking the same iheart language and we are all taking this very special journey together.  

I encourage you to speak to your child about the iheart program and what they have taken from it so far. If you have any questions or would like to find out more about the program please see Ros or me.  We are moving slowly through the course and have nearly completed the first four foundational sessions together.  

Students in R-2 have not participated in any iheart sessions and we are eagerly awaiting the release of the iheart Junior Primary Curriculum.
