This term has been so much fun for our school, with so many activities happening that get the children involved like Science Week, Book Week and Wellness Day. Having activities like this available, helps children feel like they belong.

Being a part of the Joondalup Primary School community is a great way for you and your children to get the most out of their primary school life; helping them feel safe, supported, encouraged and included.

I have attached an article about “Belonging” from the Kids Matter website.

“A sense of belonging has been found to help protect children against mental health problems and improve their learning. Children who feel that they belong are happier, more relaxed and have fewer behavioural problems than others. They are also more motivated and more successful learners.”https://www.kidsmatter.edu.au/mental-health-matters/belonging

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday and I can’t wait to see what Term  Four brings!!
