The ASG Student Social and Emotional Health Report
In 2007, the Australian Scholarships Group (ASG) commissioned and funded the ASG Student Social and Emotional Health Report as part of its ongoing contribution to supporting children's education.
Key findings:
#
A large percentage of students are experiencing social and emotional difficulties.
#
Four in 10 students worry too much.
#
Three in 10 students are very nervous or stressed.
#
Two in 10 students have felt very hopeless and depressed for a week and have stopped regular activities.
#
A third of students lose their temper a lot and are sometimes quite mean to others (bully).
Concern for student well being
#
Two-thirds of students are not doing as well in their schoolwork as they could.
#
Four in 10 students have difficulty calming down (poor resilience).
#
Students who bully tend to have difficulty in thinking before they act when angry.
Surprisingly, approximately half of the students who bully actually have high self-esteem.
#
Different childhood problems such as bullying, getting into trouble, stress, feeling down and under-achievement are displayed across all levels of student well-being – not just at lower levels.
What parents say about If Kids Seminars
Thanks to Mrs Sgouros Michael’s transition from primary school to high school has not been as difficult as he thought.
Mrs Sgouros worked competently with the children to prepare them for the next phase of their lives.
I find her to be a good leader and she is capable of creating a suitable environment in which children can learn.
If Kids Seminars want to support your Year 5 and Year 6 child by teaching him or her the key strategies he or she will need to use to become successful not only at school, but also in life!
