Overview

Promoting wellbeing of the children is very important to us here in Rooskey NS. We set up the initiative of ‘Wellness Wednesday’ to begin the journey of wellbeing throughout our school environment. We wanted to provide opportunities for the children to build relationships and partnerships across our school community. We decided to create an opportunity for children to come together in groups on a weekly basis and use the expertise of staff members to provide engaging and playful learner experiences for each child.
