What are Year Representatives?
The system of Year Representatives works particularly well at our school. Any Sacred Heart parent can volunteer to be a Year Rep for their child's year. The role of a Year Rep is evolving to focus more on ‘pastoral care’ ie. connecting parents, buddying new families, encouraging parents’ to support in classroom and school activities, and coordinating social events that bring families together. Year representatives liaise with teachers and encourage all parents in the year group to become involved in planning and running events throughout the year.
Relationship management
Relationship Management
Learning social skills and being able to regulate their emotions are two very important skills that children learn throughout their life and these are needed in the relationship management and building of friendships. Having good social skills is essential to a child's wellbeing.
The students at Sacred Heart are given support to learn social skills if they are having difficulty. This is done through the way classrooms are structured, the PAWS expectations are taught and the support the children are given on the playground, through our Wellbeing Co-ordinator Mr De Villiers and our Behaviour Management policies.
