'Gettalong' at Ettalong
Ettalong Public School has introduced a "Gettalong" program for the school's playground and student well-being.
"Year 6 students and staff run various games, activities and interest groups that students can choose to join each and every lunch time," said school principal Ms Lynn Balfour.
"Activities include K-2 soccer, sport equipment, giant Connect 4, Lego club, art club, chess, disco, volleyball and the computer room activities."
Students who are seen by a teacher demonstrating an aspect of the school motto - Respect, Responsibility, Ready To Learn - are given a "playground positive slip".
"Slips go into a weekly draw where one lucky student wins a free lunch order from the canteen to recognise their positive behaviour," Ms Balfour said.
