Calrossy Junior School is excited to be a part of the UR STRONG Program as part of our ongoing commitment to student wellbeing and to celebrate our 2025 Year of Kindness theme. The Program, anchored by the Friendology 101 curriculum, is specifically designed to equip our students from Prep through Year 6 with the skills needed to build and maintain healthy friendships.
Friendology 101, integrated into our PDHPE lessons and everyday interactions, provides practical strategies that empower children to independently navigate friendship challenges, resolve conflicts, and develop strong social connections. This engaging, age-appropriate curriculum uses relatable scenarios, visual tools such as the Friend-o-Meter and Friend-o-Cycle, and a simple but meaningful "language of friendship" that resonates with children.
Calrossy's focus on student wellbeing recognises that healthy relationships significantly enhance happiness, academic success, and emotional resilience.
"Friendships are at the heart of wellbeing and learning," explains Mrs Mooney, Junior School PDHPE teacher.
"We want our students and parent to feel confident in managing their friendships, and UR STRONG helps them to achieve just that."
The UR STRONG approach will not only support our students but also encourage parents and educators to engage collaboratively. By sharing a common language around friendships at both school and home, our community can consistently reinforce these essential social skills. To support this collaborative effort, Calrossy will be hosting a special Parent Training Workshop on Tuesday, April 1. Parents will learn about the key concepts of the program and how to use these strategies effectively at home.
Mrs Mooney further emphasises, "We're looking forward to seeing the positive impact this program will have on our students' everyday interactions and overall wellbeing. When children are equipped with the skills to manage their own friendships, they gain greater confidence and independence."
We warmly invite all parents to join us in supporting our children through their friendship journeys. Together, we can nurture a culture of kindness and confidence that will benefit our students now and into the future.
