Working and Modelling Initiatives in the Classroom

Enquiries
These sessions are all delivered in the classroom by Marcelo Staricoff working with each class at a time throughout the school, from Reception to Year 6. These sessions model any of the chosen JONK initiative for the teacher and support staff in their own classrooms and with their own children. At the end of the day the staff are invited to meet, share and discuss the observations from the day and formulate their desired next steps.
