Empowering Friendships with URSTRONG
If you were able to come to our recent ‘Meet the Teacher’ nights in the Junior School, you would have heard that we are using the URSTRONG friendship program this year as part of our Personal Development and Health units. We are using this to help empower our students with a healthy understanding of what friendships are, strategies to be a good friend and to develop a common language to use when we go through the ups and downs of friendships.
URSTRONG’s whole-school friendship strategy has improved the social climate in schools around the world, connecting over a million kids, parents, and teachers with a common language of friendship. We are proud to be a URSTRONG School and are committed to empowering your children with friendship skills.
You are invited to take advantage of a free parent membership to access hundreds of resources – including an 8 session video series. This will allow you to learn the same language & strategies being taught in the classroom through the Friendology 101 curriculum. We hope that, as a URSTRONG Family, you will reinforce the important messages of empowerment, self-compassion, & kindness at home.
As a next step, we would recommend:

We believe that empowering our students with these skills will create a culture of kindness at our school and we hope that, together, we can support your children to have healthy, feel-good friendships.
God bless,
Mr Luke Przydacz
Deputy Head of Junior School – Wellbeing
