Social and Emotional improvement for the students .
Samson and honey are a positive Influence on the Classroom. Social and Emotional improvement for the students are a clear benefit.
At Clarinda, children who many usually be anxious are clamed by reading to a patient dog. A shy kid can make a new friend during playtime with a wagging tail. At schools like Clarinda Primary, this is not a dream; it is the way things are every day. Sampson and Honey, two certified therapy dogs are important parts of the community. They help students with everything from reading to managing their emotions. Clarinda Primary is one of many schools in Australia that have teamed up with Paws For Support.
