Emotional Intelligence

At Mooroopna Park Primary School, we believe that we cannot leave the learning of Emotional Intelligence and social competence to chance.

The Five skills of Emotional Intelligence are:

• Self-awareness
• Self-control
• Self-motivation
• Empathy (the awareness of others)
• Managing Relationships

Our teachers actively teach the skills that build emotional intelligence in children. We do this through games and lessons. Our staff have been trained in Wilson McCaskill's wonderful program called the 'Game Factory' and our children actively learn the five skills of emotional intelligence every day. At our school assemblies, students demonstrate their learning about strong social values such as Respect, Responsibility and Resilience. At Mooroopna Park Primary School, we are building a culture of Emotional Intelligence so that our students can learn, work and play well together.
