We are thrilled to welcome Spalding Primary School in South Australia to our Best of Friends® program.
The Best of Friends® is an evidence-based and multi-award-winning social and emotional learning program (SEL) developed by Quirky Kid that is now used by dozens of schools and clinics around the world.
About Spalding Primary School
Spalding is a small rural town in the mid-north of South Australia, 178 km north of Adelaide, and is situated at the centre of a network of creeks and rivers which meet to form the Broughton River. Spalding Primary School is located in a well-kept and delightful setting with an abundance of trees, lawned play areas, a Covered Outdoor Learning Area and a shaded playground.
The core values of the school are Respect, Safety and Excellence which form the pillars of all their educational aims. Their values are part of their everyday language expectations, and all children know and understand what they mean.
Spalding Primary School follows the Berry Street Education Model where they recognise strength-based, positive education best practices support the staff and students’ well-being and are committed to the implementation of consistent predictable routines with consistently predictable adults.
By adopting The Best of Friends® program, Spalding Primary School is committing to give students the opportunity to participate in a range of activities and value positive positive, open and honest relationships between school and home.
How The Best of Friends® program will be implemented at Spalding Primary School
The Best of Friends® program was launched at Spalding Primary School in 2024 and is closely supported by our team of facilitators. Each participant will receive a copy of the exclusive workbook developed by Quirky Kid. To offer students the necessary support, facilitators and parents will have access to an extensive range of information, manuals and regular supervision as required.
To ensure appropriate evaluation, each child and group will complete psychometric testing of their social and emotional skills before and after The Best of Friends® program to measure the outcome of the intervention. Evaluation and monitoring is an important component of the program.
