World Kindness Day – Wednesday 13 November

Next week we’ll be celebrating World Kindness Day, a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how kindness helps build a positive and respectful school community.

At Solway, kindness connects directly to our School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) values:

Respect: using kind words and actions towards others

Responsibility: taking the initiative to help or include someone

Resilience: showing kindness even when things don’t go our way

Classes will be exploring what kindness looks, sounds, and feels like, and how one small act can make a big difference.

We also encourage families to join in at home! You can find a wonderful set of Kindness Challenges in this World Kindness Day Booklet

Here are a few ideas to get started:

• Write a kind note or draw a picture for someone special

• Help out with a job around the house or garden

• Share a compliment with a classmate or teacher

• Do something kind for yourself, like taking a break or reading your favourite book

Let’s see how much kindness we can spread across our classrooms, playgrounds, and community this week!
