You Can Do It! at St Monica’s

The students have been busy participating in a weekly lesson from the You Can Do It! Social-Emotional Learning Curriculum. While an explicit lesson is taught each week, the skills and language are something that teachers and students are using and practising in their daily social interactions and when problems need to be resolved.

Through the YCDI! Primary Program, all the children from Year 1-6 are working on:

• Changing negative attitudes to positive ones
• Learning coping skills when things go wrong
• Reducing social and emotional difficulties
• Developing higher levels of wellbeing

In Year 1 the children have been discussing and learning how we all have strengths and weaknesses. They have been identifying strategies they can use to help themselves develop confidence.
