Learning & Wellbeing at Logan Reserve State School
KidsMatter is a national mental health
initiative for primary schools that is proven to make a positive difference to
the lives of Australian children. KidsMatter is a whole-school approach to improving
children’s mental health and wellbeing. Logan Reserve State School was proud to
become a KidsMatter school in 2013.
We are committed to supporting the
wellbeing of our students by building a positive learning culture through
engaging learning experiences and nurturing relationships with our students and
families. Mental health and wellbeing is essential for learning and life.
Children who are mentally healthy learn better and have stronger relationships
with the people in their lives. Becoming a KidsMatter school gives us the tools
and resources to support our students and families.
Kids Matter works hand-in-hand with our
commitment to the schoolwide Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL), and our focus on
creating a positive, safe and supportive learning environment. In our school,
every face has a place and every child is cared for.
