Wellbeing Update: Term 3 Week 6

Hi Everyone,

Week 4 of this term was ‘Bullying No Way’ Week. Bullying No Way Week is Australia's key bullying prevention initiative for schools. It provides an opportunity for schools to create a shared understanding about bullying behaviours and share their bullying prevention policies and strategies.

The national theme was “Be bold. Be kind. Speak up. It takes courage to spark change.” Students engaged in a variety of activities across the week that encouraged reflection, empathy, and positive action. Each class was asked to create a pledge to stamp out bullying in our school.

Here are some of the class pledges to Bullying.

Positive Behaviour for Learning

For the next two weeks, students and staff are focusing on the PBL expected behavior of ‘I follow St. Kevin’s Learning Dispositions.’ This behavior shows the value of Responsibility.

Our St. Kevin's Learning Dispositions are:

Grit
Creativity
Courage
Collaboration
Optimism
Ownership

We are focusing on our learning dispositions as we creep closer to our whole school performance. Many of these dispositions come into play as students prepare to perform for our families. Collaboration, ownership, and creativity are part of all rehearsals for the performance, and grit, optimism, and courage will be required the week of our school performance.

I hope that everyone has a great week.

Take care,

Fiona George
