Smart Play Leaders

What is Smart Play: Smart Play is a lunchtime program that provides an opportunities for students to engage in play-based and exploratory learning, including imaginative and creative activities. When combined with a caring and supported environment, children build ‘emotional literacy’ which is the ability to understand themselves and other people. Smart Play helps to develop students’ ability to understand, express and manage their own emotions and respond appropriately to the emotions of others. In Smart Play, students will learn positive language, solve problems, make friends, and build resilience whilst having fun in a group environment.

Who are Smart Play Leaders: Smart Play Leaders are Year 5 and 6 students who apply to help the Wellbeing and Engagement Leader to provide a caring and fun environment for younger students attending Smart Play. Smart Play Leaders model the school values of readiness, respect and resilience. They are kind and inclusive and work closely with the Wellbeing and Engagement Leader to build their own skills as beginning leaders. They learn how to support younger students to engage in positive play with games and activities that are designed to give students opportunities to use positive language, use the Zones of Regulation to describe emotions, take turns, negotiate roles, solve problems, and make new friends.
