Many of our families already know Millie, but we would like to officially introduce her and share the important role she plays in supporting the wellbeing of our school community.
Millie is an Australian Cobberdog, a breed renowned for its gentle nature, intelligence, calm temperament, and strong desire to connect with people. She is also hypoallergenic, making her a wonderful companion in a school environment. These qualities make Cobberdogs particularly well suited to therapeutic and educational settings, where they can provide comfort, reassurance, and emotional support.
Last year, Millie was very much a student herself! She spent the year in training, becoming accustomed to the sights and sounds of school life. From busy corridors and loud playgrounds to being surrounded by lots of excited children, she worked hard to develop the confidence and skills needed to thrive in a school environment.
As we begin the new academic year, Millie has been helping children settle back into the rhythm of school. She has been spending time with pupils who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or simply finding the return to school a little challenging. Through her calm presence, gentle nature, and unconditional affection, she helps children feel safe, relaxed, and ready to engage in their learning.
We are incredibly proud of how far Millie has come, from a trainee learning how to cope with busy school life to becoming a valued member of our wellbeing team. We look forward to seeing the positive impact she continues to have on our children throughout the year.
