Teacher Wellness Program
The very idea of wrangling a class of 39 6-year-olds is enough to trigger a wave of panic for most people. Now imagine that roughly three-quarters of those kids are either ESL learners or need extra attention for learning disabilities, and many of them are dealing with trauma, abuse, and the shrapnel of poverty. Not to mention, they're forced to learn in a derelict school building with asbestos lurking in the tiles and no heat or air conditioning. Teachers are as stressed as students nowadays. The pressure if teaching and learning and the amount of workload, files , records, handling disciplinary cases, counselling is is stressing. To keep up with this stress and forget it for the moment every Monday and Wednesday Nadi Primary Staff takes in wellness program for an hour. Even when teachers can't participate they come and enjoy as audiences. Cheering and encouraging each and all. it takes the stress away and relaxes the mind , body and soul. This program started in 2015 and is continuing since than.
