WELLBEING FOR KIDS
The Unstoppable Me Program is a school wellbeing program that our students participate in once a year. This program is facilitated by Linda from Wellbeing 4 Kids.

Our teachers use the strategies and techniques learned from Linda and implement these exercises into their daily routine.
