Preschool Groups
Culture & Language
Culture and Language is who we are at Girraween Primary School. Our approach to culture and language is evidence-informed and draws on
-
Restorative Practices (repair over punishment)
-
Explicit teaching of prosocial language
-
Oral language development (teaching the words children need for conflict resolution)
-
Co-regulation and emotion coaching (Zones of Regulation)
As part of our School Priorities, we aim to continue to strengthen our culture
and language focus in partnerships with students, families and the community.

Affective statements express personal feelings, both negative and positive, to communicate how a child’s behaviour makes them feel.

Priming Language - Priming language is a powerful way to set up behavioural expectations. It enables children and adults to step up into the behaviour we want to see. (parent article 5)
Stored Responses - When human beings get limbic and emotional, sometimes the right words do not come out of our mouths. Storing responses that are appropriate can be immensely helpful when emotions get heightened. (parent article 6)
