Volunteers for Sports Day

There’s still time to put your name down to help out on Friday if you are a registered volunteer and interested in helping out at our Sports Day BBQ. We are looking for people to help prep, cook and serve. Sports Day is this Friday 1 November. If you have some availability and would like to help out, we would love to hear from you. Please reach out to me for more information or to share your availability for the day jrobinson@stpaulba.sa.edu.au

This week article is ‘Hope Builders’ and other articles from this term include:

’Brain Chemistry Hacks for Better Learning’ and last week was ‘15 Ways to raise kids who bounce back’ 

The webinar highlight this week is: ‘Happier’ This presentation steps you through the science of Positive Psychology in a personal, interactive, and REAL way – with a specific emphasis on the education context. We’ll dive deep into understanding and practicing the things that will (and won’t) make you feel great about life – and find improved focus and fulfilment at school.
