Cool at School

Program

This is a very successful social skills program that operates across all grades at Moree Public School.  Lessons occur in each class at the beginning of the week and aim to build confidence, self-esteem, good manners and resilience.  A critical component of the program is the development of problem solving skills to assist students in avoiding and diffusing conflicts before they begin.  Every year, a special Cool at School open day is held at the school during which students participate in cooperative games and positive activities.  For more information about Cool at School, speak to your child's teacher or a member of the school executive.

Mediators

Students are elected from Years 5 and 6 to become student mediators.  They are trained to lead organised games and activities during lunch time for the benefit of all students at Moree Public School.  They also organise an annual Cool at School open day that promotes the values and themes of cooperation, responsibility and integrity.
