Wellbeing & Choose-days

Primary schools play a pivotal role in enhancing students' well-being by fostering environments that support their social, emotional, and mental health. Implementing comprehensive programs that promote positive relationships, emotional literacy, and resilience is essential. We recognise this and have a pro-active approach to ensuring our children's wellbeing. We have a pro-active school counsellor, who is always available and ready to support the children.

We dedicate one day each week to "Choose Day," where students wear their own clothes and select from a variety of engaging activities. This initiative allows children to explore personal interests and express individuality, fostering a sense of autonomy and self-confidence. During these sessions, we assess their personal development using the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) Personal Learning Goals, which include adaptability, communication, cooperation, inquiry, resilience, morality, thoughtfulness, and respect. By participating in diverse activities, students have opportunities to demonstrate and enhance these attributes in real-world contexts. This approach not only supports academic growth but also cultivates essential life skills, preparing them to navigate various challenges with confidence and integrity. "Choose Day" thus serves as a holistic platform for nurturing well-rounded individuals equipped for future success.
