Positive Relationships in the School Community
Last week, we celebrated Positive Education Week, with student and staff activities centred around this year’s theme – ‘Positive Relationships’. We celebrated our school community by fostering stronger connections, building closer relationships and acknowledging our interconnectedness through activities such as a Mix & Mingle Photobooth, Positive Education Mural on “How Are We Connected?”, Mindfulness with Mary Ward, Games Galore and Freedom Friday’s – Freedom to Dance.
Positive Education is taught as a subject from Preparatory to Year 10, and our Year 11 and 12 Pastoral Program also incorporates the tenets of positive psychology. Our Positive Education curriculum is designed to promote wellbeing as an integral component of the Loreto education, supporting and strengthening our existing academic framework and our approach to pastoral care. At Loreto Toorak, we have undertaken a whole school approach to Positive Education which incorporates the education of students, staff, parents and the broader community about the skills of wellbeing.
