Helping Hands Reminder 

We are so privileged at CHPS to have so many amazing senior students, ready to give up their recess times to spend time supporting and playing with younger students. I am so proud of my Helping Hands team!  Special shout out to Ethan M (5LC), Will R (5LC) and Chris D (5KT) for being such engaging, strong and helpful leaders during their HH Duty on Tuesday!  

Helping Hands Agreements: Encourage each other.  Work as a team.  Encourage Friendships.  Model Forgiveness. Listen to each other and the students we work with.  Show care and compassion towards each other and the students we work with.  Be fair.  Show up.

Ramadan

Ramadan is coming up for some of our students. “In 2024, the Islamic holy month of Ramadan runs from March 10 to April 9… Ramadan is a festive time in Islam, meant for togetherness and community…During Ramadan, all adults who can are expected to fast from sunrise to sunset.  Depending on age…children will participate in fasting in part or in full.” -9 ways to support students during Ramadan

Cultural Diversity Week

We are so privileged to have so many cultures represented here at CHPS. “Multiculturalism is a core part of the Victorian identity, our character and way of life.  Our state is home to people who speak 290 languages and have 314 different ancestries.  It's also a place where anyone can contribute and belong.” -VIC.gov.au

The 2024 Cultural Diversity Week theme invites us to weave a tapestry of vibrant experiences with "Our Shared Stories - Celebrating Together."

We are looking forward to spending time sharing stories.  Cultural Diversity Week is coming in week 8.
