Subject Selections, Celebrations and Looking Ahead

As we reach the midpoint of the term, there is a strong sense of purpose across the school with students reflecting on their learning, considering their future pathways, and celebrating important milestones.

This Term’s Focus: Being Kind At The Gap SHS, our values guide everything we do. This term, our spotlight is on Being Kind, which encompasses humility, forgiveness, fairness, generosity, love, and prudence.

Students are reminded to:

• Respect others' rights to learn.
• Give due consideration to different opinions and experiences.
• Show empathy, fairness, and gratitude in daily interactions.
• Maintain personal space and be considerate of others in classrooms, around the school, and at events.

It is important we are working together to create a culture of kindness – where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected.
