Social & Emotional Learning
Nurturing the heart, just as much as the mind
At Parklands School, the development of emotional literacy in our students is just as important as their academics. Through daily modelling of respect and care, along with thoughtfully structured resilience and social and emotional learning programs, our students are supported to develop the inner skills they need to better understand themselves and others.
Our approach supports students to grow into kind, self aware and resilient young people. They learn to understand their emotions, navigate relationships, resolve conflict with empathy, and speak up for what's right both courageously and compassionately.
Peace Project
The Peace Project is our whole school commitment to nurturing empathy, emotional intelligence, and respectful relationships. Guided by international Peace Pedagogy, students learn to resolve conflict, embrace diversity, and lead with kindness by creating safe, supportive spaces where care, compassion, and connection are part of everyday life at Parklands.
Aussie Optimism
We believe that wellbeing and emotional resilience are the foundation for lifelong learning, which is why we offer Aussie Optimism. This national recognised, research-backed program supports students' social and emotional develpment for all our students. Aussie Optimism helps children build confidence, self-awareness and strong relationships.
