Welcome back for Term 3! 

We have hit the ground running this term.  Our intervention programs are in full swing and teachers have been working hard getting Personalised Learning Plans reviewed and implemented for the remainder of the year.  We have been extremely busy ensuring that all students are being supported to access the curriculum and the social and emotional needs of all are being met. 

In other exciting news, we have started to roll out a program around the teaching of strategies to support students with learning self regulation and understanding what self-regulation is.  The ‘Zones of Regulation’ is a curriculum designed to foster self-regulation and emotional control.  The Zones curriculum provides a framework of support for students that are challenged with self-regulation but can benefit all people in general.  Everyone experiences difficulties in regulation from time to time so learning about the Zones and how to consciously move between the Zones can help everyone.  The tools that students learn to self-regulate are tools that they can take away and apply to all aspects of life. 

The visuals that we use to actively teach about ‘The Zones of Regulation’ have been placed in all classrooms and areas where teaching and learning occurs.  We will soon have more visuals placed around the school so we will have a constant reminder of the Zones at all times. 

 Warm regards,
