frontier primary school restorative practices training
-Jacyntha, HOD Student Development-
”RP builds a conducive culture for nurturing constructive relationships which build the talents, strengths and identity of individuals. Through the element of choice, individuals are empowered to make sound decisions which have a lasting impact on themselves and others around them. Personally, creating a rewarding positive culture of care and concern, every individual feels valued and belonged in their environment of learning. It is an amazing way for us as educators to reach out and nurture each and every special child.”

2 Days Sustaining Positive Discipline in Schools Workshop by David Vinegrad
-raimi, hod dicipline-
“It has been really surreal to have David come to Commonwealth to conduct a workshop here. (please do thank him for me) As I looked around and scanned the faces of my colleagues for the past two days, I can sense a renewal in their spirit and their belief in the importance of a healthy and meaningful relationship in school. I thank both of you for making this possible for me. I hope it is not an exaggeration to say that moments like this truly gives meaning to my work. Moving forward, I hope I can continue working with RP to make restorative justice a common language in my school.”

ACS Junior peer support student training
"The session was conducted via Zoom and RPS team was still able to deliver the lesson efficiently. The nurturing demeanor of the trainer Ms Kavitha made the boys connect with her instantly. The boys enjoyed the session with many expressing sadness that it was their last session today. When I went to the break-out rooms, the boys were diligently practising the RP process. I want to thank the team for their good collaboration with the school in delivering these sessions and effectively transferring these skills to the boys - a life-long skill."

peer support Special Needs student training
"The training also gave good awareness to our PSLs. The guided approach taught them on how to approach and support their classmates. I would like to highlight that one of our PSL consistently supported and looked out for his special needs classmate. He taught him calming strategies when he had a breakdown or when feeling low. The empathetic approach created a strong bond between the boys. This created a positive caring culture. Good job to team RPS for delivering such an empowering workshop"

Self-Regulation student training
Trainers' did a wonderful job conducting the self-regulation workshop for my school. This group of children had displayed intense challenges in managing their difficult emotions in school and had been involved in many incidents throughout the year. Using the approaches of boundaries setting, reward system and positive peer pressure, the team was able to infuse the idea of “STOP” into the children. Most importantly, they had done this through empathy, patience and care for the children which helps form the connection. Of course, fun was always present in the workshop which made the learning easier for the children.

Self-Regulation student training
I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the team for coming up with such a meaningful engagement session for our students. Those 4 lessons have been well-planned and well-executed, and our students have learnt a lot. My favourite part was how the students were so forth-coming with sitting on the cooling and hot chair to help cool down in times of anger or frustration. The trainer did a fantastic job in setting the tone and “culture” so much so that “chair” strategy was not seen as a form of punishment rather a place to calm down and reflect.
