Term 2 Pastoral Care Focus- “Relationships” with a lens on ‘Getting Along and Organisation’

During Term 2, each Thursday afternoon, our teachers will be conducting Pastoral Care lessons with students that focus on ‘Relationships’. Particularly, we will be looking at the social-emotional keys to success of ‘Getting Along’ and ‘Organisation’.

Parents and carers can support this focus at home by taking opportunities to discuss and teach students about the importance of:

• Following rules
• Thinking first
• Accepting everyone
• Social Responsibility
• Time management
• Setting Goals

Thank you to those parents and carers who help promote ‘The Windsor Way’ with their students.

Encouraging Students to Take the Perspective of Others

Whenever people work, live or associate together, there will be times where they disagree or clash. When it comes to seeing another child’s perspective or understanding their feelings, children’s ability to empathise is in a stage of growth and development that requires our nurturing as parents and educators. Coming to understand that others have thoughts, perceptions and feelings that are separate from their own, along with the ability to explicitly infer these mental states in others, are important keys to success for our students.
