| At Fig Tree Pocket there are many different
programs in place to make sure that our students are well
looked after.
School Chaplain
In 2007, Alan our school chaplain began working at our school, two days per week. The chaplain's role involves working with school staff to build relationships with students in order to assist in their learning and development. Alan provides assistance in classes and in special programs and brings a wealth of life experience, work skills and enthusasm to his role.
Human
Relationship Education course
Our upper primary students are involved in
a human relationship education course failitated by an outside
expert.
Peer
Mediation
Some students in Year 6 receive training
in peer mediation techniques to enable them to act as mediators in
the playground. This helps the older students to develop
leadership skills and means that our younger students have
additional people looking out for them in the playground.
Buddies
program
The Buddies program involves our Year 7 students
working with a Year 1 buddy and our Year 6 students working
with a Year 2 buddy. They do a variety of activities together.
Visiting
artists/performers
Each year a number of visiting artist / performers
present shows to our students that focus on positive behaviour,
self growth, confidence development and how to make and
keep friends.
