Back to school lessons to support student wellbeing
Back to school lessons to support student wellbeing
As students return to school, their prolonged absence will have impacted on their learning, wellbeing and overall connection to school. These lessons have been specially designed for use within the SPHE class during the first weeks of term.
The lessons aim to
- help students to re-connect with school and with each other
- enable students to reflect upon the impact of COVID-19 on their wellbeing and on their learning
- develop skills, attitudes and dispositions needed for re-engaging successfully in learning.
