This week is Refugee Week. It is a significant week for our Good Samaritan School Community given that so many of our children, families and staff have experiences of being a refugee. We are blessed to welcome so many beautiful families to our community.
Good Samaritan has a long established whole school strategic response to supporting children from refugee backgrounds. Our trauma informed practice supports an emphasis on making the school space – its routines, its relationships and its activities in and around our students – facilitative and flexible to the needs of all children, but in particular those who are affected by the consequences of trauma and stress,.
We invite you to watch the video to hear of the experiences of some of our families.
