Yarra Primary is a Strengths-Based School

What is your child naturally good at? Maths? Writing? Sports? Caring for their friends? We all have talents that help us stand out and succeed. So, doesn't it make sense for schools to recognise and utilise students' talents rather than overly focussing on their deficits?

The answer is a resounding Yes!! 

Connections to the people we share our lives with are critical for thriving. Character strengths help people appreciate each other and feel understood.

The classroom is a place of growth and challenge. Character strengths give students and  teachers an energizing source of confidence to draw from.
