Movement Matters
NBSS Programme supporting student learning
Movement Matters is an individual, movement based programme. It was designed to support and develop attentive classroom behaviour which allows students to focus in the classroom.
This year we had two students participate in Movement Matters. They were very positive about the program and recommend that other students get the opportunity to take part next year. Both reported being able to focus for longer periods in the class setting. To find out more click here.
