Zippy
Zippy’s Friends Project - was launched on 3 March 2016 at J.T. Ramsoondar Government School, Solferino, in Vacoas.
An initiative of the Ministry of Education and Human Resources, Tertiary Education and Scientific Research jointly with the Mauritius Institute of Education and the Institut Cardinal Jean Margéot, the Zippy’s Friends project aims at promoting the development of coping skills and emotional wellbeing among young children with a view to helping them handle problems during adolescence and adult life.
Objectives
The programme, running in primary schools and kindergartens around the world, aims at teaching children how to manage their emotions such as happiness, sadness and also how to control anger thus reinforcing the sound growth process of children.
Positive Discipline Programme
Positive Discipline aims at developing mutually respectful relationships by teaching adults to employ kindness and firmness at the same time, and is neither punitive nor permissive. The tools and concepts of the programme empowers our teachers to properly allow students to learn and adapt their behaviors to meet expectations in the classroom, while simultaneously teaching them how to make better choices in their path to adulthood.
Psychologist
A psychologist is present in the school twice a week. Children, parents and staff may request an appointment. Pupils can also be referred by teachers once parental permission has been given.
