Team Mango We All Belong!

This week in Care Class we will be focusing on Care for Self by being regulated and knowing what it looks like to be regulated. Self-regulation is managing tension from environmental stressors and the ability to return to a calm state.

It is important to be able to identify how you feel and use strategies to self-regulate. Throughout the day your feelings might fluctuate, and it is okay to be at different points on the Ready Scale. What matters is being able to identify how you feel and use strategies to self-regulate.

Active School Travel

Team Mango is excited to be one the first schools to launch the City of Moreton Bay (Council) Active School Travel (AST) initiative.  This initiative is part of Council’s Accessible Schools Program (ASP). You would have seen a number of infrastructure changes and upgrades happening around our school recently, including new supervised crossings at Kinsellas Road East and Bonnet Parade, new footpaths, and a number of safety improvements such as pedestrian fencing at Opal Street and signs and line marking changes in surrounding residential areas to better manage parking behaviour during school peaks.

Now it’s time for the next phase: the Active School Travel (AST) initiative.

What’s the Aim?

The goal is to see more students walking, riding or using public transport to and from school.  Get to know our local community, meet other Team Mango families and have a healthy start and end to the school day by walking, riding or using public transport! 

The map below, shows walking routes to use.  Our Council is partnering with us to give prizes to students we see walking, riding or using public transport.  These prizes will be given at random.  Who knows when the prize givers will turn up!  There are also raffle tickets to go in the draw to win one of four scooters at the end of the year.
