Resilience Project

Juniors Fortnightly Recap

This week in the Resilience Project we focused on Empathy. Empathy is a core concept and skill taught in the Resilience Project and one that we will come back to throughout the term. Our Juniors used their understanding of empathy to identity emotions and brainstorm ways that they could help a fellow student who might need support.  

Seniors Fortnightly Recap

This week the Seniors were consolidating their knowledge about Empathy. The students learned about how when we show kindness and empathy towards others; it releases a hormone called Oxytocin in our own bodies which helps lift mood/self-esteem. The students were able to see that being kind has a positive benefit to themselves! We also continued with our 'compliments project' which the students are really enjoying. :)
