LUNCHTIME CLUBS

This term we have introduced lunchtime clubs. Lunchtime clubs are an evidence-based way of providing activities during recess and/or lunch. These clubs help build student engagement, social skills and inclusion for all students. They can also support students who may struggle with lack of structure in the school playground.

Research has shown there are a number of benefits for students and the whole school community, including:

• improved peer-to-peer and teacher-student relationships and wellbeing
• a sense of personal empowerment and student voice
• development of social and emotional skills
• improved academic achievement
• positive school climate and increased student sense of safety
• reduction in bullying and playground behaviour incidents.
