National Quality Standard
Introduction
The National Quality Standard
(NQS) has been formulated by the Australian government. It is used to guide all
staff working with children in the early childhood sector.
The K-2 team at Wattle Grove
Primary School will be exploring and reflecting upon the NQS throughout the
year. Each class blog within K-2 will contain a feature article about the NQS.
If you would like to find out
more information about the NQS, please have a look at the website:

As
stipulated in the National Quality Standard, all staff focus on the quality of
each child’s learning experience. To engage in each lesson and reach their full
potential, children must be well rested. I know many children have
extracurricular activities they complete, however, some are coming to school
tired. Below are some guided mindfulness videos that are beneficial to
assisting children to relax and rest.
