It gives them a small environment that is usually much Quieter. Every now and again, we have students who we find can't do all of lunchtime. They're just getting into trouble by the end of lunch. And we might suggest to them that,if you're finding lunchtime really stressful, and you're
having trouble with those interactions, you know that you can go along to the clubs.

see them outside the classroom environment.

I think that Lunchtime Clubs, if that is something that
would fit within your culture and you have the staff to do it, I think it's a fantastic
way for the whole community to come together.
Interview with Principal Janet De Pilla.
3:21-3:37
It's not just about what we teach kids. It's about how we
get them to use those facts, how we get them to interrelate and relate to other people, that are actually the important
part of education.
