In Term 3, we are beginning a new program at OLOR - a program designed to help students grow their friendship skills. These programs are specifically designed for children in Years 4-6.

In Real Life: Real Friends (Girls) addresses topics such as making and being a good friend, dealing with gossip, communication styles, conflict resolution, managing emotions, social media and safety, plus assists girls to identify their support networks.

In Real Life: Equip (Boys) addresses topics such as working as a team, self-awareness/self-management, relationship skills/communication, responsible decision making, managing emotions, conflict resolution, social media and safety, plus identifying support networks.

The program runs over eight 45 minute sessions, and encourages students to grow their communication with each other, build each other up and handle feelings in helpful ways.

In Real Life: Real Friends & Equip will begin in Term 3 and will be run in small groups.  We will work through the 4, 5 and 6 classes until the end of the year. For more information, please contact Anna Strachan, School Counsellor.
