Springwood Central State School

💚 Walk for Autism Update 💚

Throughout May, our wonderful staff, students and families stepped up to support our Walk for Autism campaign, and what an incredible effort it has been!

We originally set ourselves a goal of raising $1500, and thanks to the generosity and support of our amazing school community, we smashed it, raising an incredible $1755! 🎉

Collectively, our team also walked over 2,300,000 steps throughout the month. That is a whole lot of walking, moving and making a difference!

A huge thank you to our staff and parents for supporting this campaign, whether it was through donations, sharing the fundraiser, encouraging our walkers, or joining in with steps along the way.

We are so proud of what our school community has achieved together. 💚

❤️ Jump Rope for Heart kicks off today! ❤️

We’re excited to get our students skipping, moving and raising funds for a wonderful cause.

Parent and Guardian Guides were distributed on Friday, but we know school bags can sometimes become mysterious paper-eating caves! If your guide didn’t make it home, you can still register your child here:

Week 5 PBL Focus – Recognising Escalation & Making Safe Choices

This week in PBL, students have been learning how to recognise when a problem is starting to get bigger and what they can do to keep themselves and others safe.

Across the school, students explicitly explored:

recognising signs of frustration in themselves and others
noticing warning signs that a situation may be escalating
using calm and safe replacement behaviours
asking for help appropriately
keeping hands and feet to themselves during conflict or disagreement
These lessons help students develop important self-regulation and problem-solving skills that support positive relationships and calm learning environments.

A big thank you to PY for sharing this week’s fantastic learning artefact with our school community! 🌟

Together, we continue to build safe, respectful and successful classrooms for all students.
