M8's Day
On Friday, May 8th. The SWAT boys have held our annual M8's Day (Mates Day). M8's Day is a day where we celebrate the friends we made and appreciate them for being there. To prepare for this day, the SWAT team pre-sold vouchers that you could gift to a mate, with a message and a lolly or chocolate.
On M8’s Day we got our SWAT badges at assembly along with shirts to advertise the day to the school community. Then later the gifts people bought for their friends were delivered to them in period 3, and to end off M8’s Day we finished off with our M8’s Day Quiz. This was very popular and entertaining for all. Prizes were given out if you got questions right, which definitely encouraged friends to participate.
Thanks Ms Sweeney and Mr Gordon for organising M8's Day, it couldn't have been done without you!

Now available on SchoolTV - Dealing with Conflict
Conflict is a natural and unavoidable part of family life. As children grow, differences in opinions, emotions and expectations can sometimes lead to tension at home, at school or with peers. While these moments can feel challenging, they also present valuable opportunities to teach young people important life skills. How conflict is managed within the family plays a key role in shaping a child’s ability to communicate, regulate emotions and navigate relationships.
For adult carers, supporting children through conflict means staying calm, listening with empathy and modelling respectful problem-solving. When handled constructively, conflict can strengthen relationships, build resilience and help children develop the confidence to manage disagreements in healthy and productive ways.
This edition of SchoolTV explores practical strategies to help families approach conflict with greater understanding and confidence.
