Bluearth is a unique movement approach to learning that improves behaviour, self esteem, confidence, health and academic achievement. Clunes Primary School implements this as a whole school program that is incorporated into daily fitness and dedicated sessions each fortnight. The Bluearth Professional Learning Program addresses the following critical areas of student development:
- Self confidence
- Concentration
- Cooperation
- Awareness of others
- A willingness to accept new challenges
- Improving behaviour/choices
- Desire to attend school on Bluearth days
The key to the Bluearth Approach and the reason it is so successful is the focus on the students’ experiences as a result of participating in each activity. Students are not told what is right or wrong, but they are skilfully guided and questioned, resulting in a range of powerful messages being reinforced.
These include:
- Honesty
- Fair play
- Consideration for others
- Cooperation
- Challenging oneself
- Quality of Attention
Bluearth activities complement our whole school implementation of YOU CAN DO IT! where we focus on Getting Along, Confidence, Cooperation, Organisation and Resilience.
