What an amazing term we have had.  Filled with many events, activities and lots of teaching and learning.  As we reach the last week of term it is a great opportunity for both staff and students to reflect on the first six months of our school year and then to rest as we prepare to head into the final six months for 2022.

KINDNESS WEEK 

What a wonderful week of joy and the spreading of kindness in our College.  Well done to the SRC students who held lunchtime activities to engage students.  There was colouring in of compliment cards – which were then given out to people in our lives that show kindness to us.  We worked together to play games, showing that by working together we can achieve goals and have fun, it was important that we included others, encouraged others and practiced showing kindness (even when being competitive).  The message of kindness has even been spread to the walkways and gathering areas of our College with chalk messages and affirmations creatively drawn on our concrete – these messages will be here for a few weeks to come so we can really learn from them.  Today we got to show our support by purchasing cookies – these were baked by staff and students and sent a message of kindness.  I was lucky enough to receive a kindness package today – which included letters of support, appreciation and kind words and a delicious cookie – what a way to brighten my day.  There have been so many little things going on this week that have made it a great big week to promote kindness.  Kindness does not stop today just because the week ends.  We take what we have experienced and learnt with us and will continue to work on it in our daily lives.
