Parents, Rhyme Time LAP - EXPRESSION OF INTEREST We Currently Have Positions Available for OLG Students to Join LAP You might ask: What is LAP? LAP is a student wellbeing program fostering learning success through a mentor approach. It is a student-centred and volunteer-based mentoring program designed to assist the specific requirements of a student in need via one-to-one learning experiences that aim to provide guidance and enrich their wellbeing and thus their learning. It focuses on the wellbeing, emotional and social needs of students through the powerful and positive contribution of trained mentors. All LAP volunteers must complete training to participate in the program. They must have a valid Working with Children Card, follow the CEWA Code of Conduct and adhere to the requirements of Confidentiality. We are fortunate to have many volunteers at our school that are happy to commit to supporting children that would benefit from one to one time for half an hour each week. This time may be spent setting goals that will then be worked on to aim for successful learning in the classroom, it may involve the child pursuing a hobby, they may participate in confidence building activities, there are many possibilities on how the time is used. It does not involve tutoring or extra time for completion of school work. Potentially LAP:
Please contact Nerida Hince via the email below if you think your child would benefit from participating in LAP in 2018. Participation is voluntary, and the sessions may be ongoing, long term or short-term support/help. Dear Parents & Friends, URSTRONG’s Language of Friendship workshop for parents and students from Years 3 to 6 will take place on Saturday the 20th of October. Please see full details in the poster below. This past year, our entire faculty has been focusing on social-emotional learning programs, implementing tools and strategies to support our efforts in creating a safe and caring school. We believe that empowering our students with these skills will create a school community where children are better able to manage their relationships in a safe and respectful environment.
