Junior School

Term 1, Week 2

During our student briefing on Monday morning, a few boys shared something that went well for them in Week 1. It was refreshing to hear boys share about their new friendships, their parents dropping them at school, their teacher, or their favourite subject. Once again in 2025, the Junior School will be partnering with ‘The Resilience Project’ to continue promoting student and staff wellbeing. This social and emotional program has four key pillars which your son will continue to learn about throughout the school year.

  • Gratitude - paying attention to the things that we have

  • Empathy - understanding others’ feelings and showing kindness and compassion

  • Mindfulness - paying attention to what is happening right now

  • Emotional Literacy - labelling, understanding, and expressing our emotions.

To help you discuss these important components of the program, and to further develop the habits within your own home there is a parent/carer hub. The Hub can be accessed via the secure link below, with no account setup or login required: https://theresilienceproject.com.au/2025-parent-carer-hub-inspire-4/

 

We look forward to welcoming parents to our Junior School Parent Information Night, Monday, 10 February at 6.00pm in Braham Auditorium.

 

God bless,
