Term 2, Week 5

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone had a cracking weekend.

Character Strength of the Week...

Leadership...a difficult skill to master but one that many are capable of showing in a variety of ways.

It involves encouraging and inspiring the group to achieve the objectives of the group whilst maintaining positive and happy relationships.

This is a great chance to discuss what leadership looks like for your child.

What traits do good leaders have? 
  
Do they know good leaders? 

How can they build these skills within      themselves?


A few reminders for the coming week...

Year 3 Prayer Assembly:
All Year 3 families are warmly invited to join us for our Prayer Assembly on Friday afternoon (26th May) beginning at 2.15pm in the hall.

Students with reading parts will be given these today to bring home to rehearse...we will also keep copies here at school as we will be practicing every day.

Reconciliation:
All families are once again invited to come along and support our candidates as they make their first Reconciliation on Tuesday 30th May (3DAN) and Wednesday 31st May (3DEL).

Candidates and their families are asked to be at Our Lady of the Southern Cross by 4.50pm at the latest ready for a 5pm start...once students have made their Reconciliation and said their prayers, families are free to leave...we strongly encourage you to head out to celebrate as a family or year group if you wish.

If you are unable to make your allocated day, please advise either Caitlin or myself in writing via email so that we can make sure that both days are evenly weighted with candidates. We would like to avoid having a large number on one day versus the other.

Parish Mass:
On Wednesday morning, the Year 3 cohort will be walking down to Our Lady of the Southern Cross Church to attend mass with the parishioners. All family members are welcome to attend if you are free...mass will begin at 9.30am!

Wishing you all a great week.

Term 2, Week 9

Hello everyone and welcome to week 9.  Can't believe that there is only 2 weeks left of school. Tminus 13 days until I head to Darwin. You little beauty. Our Character Strength of the Week...Perspective What Is Perspective? Perspective means the ability to see the bigger picture in life.  Perspective is about being able to see the forest as well as the trees, to avoid getting wrapped up in the small details when there are bigger issues to consider.  While listening to others, perspective helps you to think about life lessons, proper conduct, and what’s best for the situation being discussed. This ability to look as a whole, or to think in big terms, helps you to offer good advice.  This is one I can personally find challenging when I am caught up in the grind of life...small things feel super important and it can be hard to see the wood for the trees.  I am working on trying to broaden this perspective and I will often ask myself 'will this matter this much in 5...

  Good afternoon parents, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all you amazing mum's a very very Happy Mother's Day...this job is wonderful and rewarding but it is also difficult and draining and all of the things in between. Character Strength of the week...KINDNESS... One of the many joys of my job in working with students is seeing the ways in which they exhibit their individual strengths...this one in particular, I see A LOT!! I am always blown away by the kindness and consideration our young people show to others.  Simply put,  kindness is being nice to others. Kindness is being generous with others, giving your time and talent to support those who are in need.  Kindness is being compassionate, which means to really be there for someone, listening intently to their suffering or just sitting with them and silently supporting them.  Such compassion involves a deep concern for the welfare of others. Kindness is also being nurturing and caring to ...

Hello everyone and welcome to week 6! I can't believe there is only a month left! Crazy! Our Character Strength of the Week...Bravery. A perfect segue into this particular strength, so many of of our soldiers, past and present show bravery in many ways.  WHAT IS BRAVERY? To be brave is to face your challenges, threats, or difficulties.  It involves valuing a goal or conviction and acting upon it, whether popular or not.  A central element involves facing – rather than avoiding – fears. This can be: Physical bravery - requiring us to do something physically challenging like running a race or getting a spider out of the bathroom.  Psychological bravery - working on owning all the parts of ourselves and accepting them as a valuable part of who we are.  Moral bravery - standing up for what is right, even if it isn't a popular opinion or others don't.  Technologies Monday: Please check in with your child to make sure they have gathered and packed their...
