PBL Focus

This week students are focusing on communicating our feelings and the expectations around this system. It is important that students learn to communicate their feelings in a safe, respectful and responsible way. Classes will also be understanding what strategies they can do when feeling this way. All classes will look at why it is important to be sun safe and protect our feet.

If you wish to have a copy of the PowerPoint that the students will be engaging in to reinforce at home, please email jxran4@eq.edu.au.        

Student Learning and Wellbeing Support Staff

At Calliope State School we have 2 guidance officers.

Miss Katelyn and Miss Lucy contribute to student support and wellbeing in our school. They work directly with students, teachers, family, other specialists and external support providers. The support provided includes advice and counselling on educational, behavioural, personal, social, family and mental health and wellbeing issues. Our guidance officers also provide our staff with support in responding to some of the most complex and challenging circumstances including student protection matters, critical incidents and mental health issues, prevention and counselling.

Why might I talk to my child’s teacher about requesting support from Miss Katelyn or Miss Lucy?

• If my child is struggling with making and keeping friends or regulating him/herself out of the red or blue zones.
• If my child is feeling unsafe and my child does not feel comfortable talking to his/her teacher.
