How can we cultivate social and emotional skills in our students?
'School staff can cultivate students' social and emotional skills by modelling positive behaviour, integrating social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum, fostering strong teacher-student relationships, guiding emotional understanding, promoting teamwork and problem-solving, and encouraging empathy through activities, reflection, and role-playing.

How can the classroom environment support the whole child?
'The classroom environment plays a pivotal role in supporting the holistic development of the whole child. By incorporating strategies like flexible seating, inclusive design, and personalised learning, educators can ensure a physically comfortable and engaging space.'
How can we support students to navigate challenges and thrive in school and beyond?
'Supporting students to navigate challenges and thrive involves fostering resilience, self-awareness, and essential life skills. By teaching problem-solving, promoting growth mindset, offering emotional coaching, and integrating social-emotional learning (SEL) into the curriculum, students develop the tools to overcome obstacles in school and apply these skills to succeed in various aspects of their lives beyond the classroom.'
