Being Brave 

On Monday, February 2nd we were so privileged to have Brainstorm Productions come out and perform for our year 1-6 students a play called “Being Brave”. It was inspiring to see how engaged our students were with this performance. We are so lucky at CHPS to have students so eager to learn, and opportunities to engage with such quality educational experiences. 

Below is some information about “Being Brave” direct from Brainstorm Productions: 

“‘Being Brave’ is a live educational theatre performance that gives students positive strategies to cope with emotions and deal with bullying, change, loss and other challenges.

Fly is a young boy whose parents have separated. He misses his dad desperately and tries to be brave by keeping his emotions ‘bottled up’. He meets Isha, who has been forced to come to a new country. Celia is coming to terms with loss in her family. Mrs Russo wants to connect safely with her family online, Tim is being bullied and Billie needs to face her fears. By connecting with the people in his community, Fly discovers the true meaning of being brave: sharing stories, showing feelings, keeping good memories and living life. ‘Being Brave’ is part of our student wellbeing curriculum and has been developed by teachers and psychologists. This engaging live performance addresses student wellbeing issues with sensitivity and provides students with practical skills for resilience, help-seeking and positive connections.
