Wellbeing Warriors
Our Wellbeing Warriors coordinator is Mrs Satongar.
Wellbeing is a golden thread that runs through everything we do at Cheadle Primary School and we strive to ensure all children feel like they belong here, so that they can thrive. The Wellbeing Warriors are a group of compassionate and empathetic leaders from Year 6.
What is the purpose of Wellbeing Warriors?
‘Wellbeing Warriors’ are students helping students.
Children will have a willingness to turn to their peers to discuss worries, problems and concerns. Often choosing to speak to another child about something they would not bring to an adult. There are also students willing to go above and beyond to help other students by being a good friend and trying to help anyway they can.
‘Wellbeing Warriors’ builds on this willingness of children, it recruits and trains responsible, caring students in further communication skills. Allowing other children a friendly listening ear, in a space that is safe to talk with clear guidance for any issues that may arise.
Who are Wellbeing Warriors?
Amazing students who act as positive role models, receive training in active listening, verbal and non-verbal communication, confidentiality and problem solving.
What does a Wellbeing Warrior do?
Wellbeing Warriors work with adult supervision. They will:
- Help new students to settle into school.
- Provide support to students who might feel isolated or needing help with self-confidence.
- Offer advice and guidance on relevant topics
- Help students to plan, set goas and action plan.
- Deliver assemblies on bullying and mental health.
All Wellbeing Warriors are regularly debriefed with an appropriate adult to ensure they are not becoming stressed themselves and have no concerns or problems they are not happy with.
A Wellbeing Warrior is NOT a teacher, counsellor or social worker and are not a replacement for professional support.
