Resilience Project

Did you know ….

80% of our happiness is derived from:

● Friendship.

● Health.

● Work fulfillment.

● Loving relationships.

● Spirituality.

When you do something kind for someone else your brain releases the love hormone oxytocin. This makes you feel good too. Check out Martin Heppell from The Resilience Project talking about being kind and the benefits of kindness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO-ja3h5INc

“Kindness is the greatest wealth of all. Small acts of kindness last longer than a lifetime” - Eddie Jaku (Author of ‘The Happiest Man on Earth’).

Deakin OT Students

Dear families/caregivers,

Our names are Beth and Olivia, we are 3rd year occupational therapy (OT) students who will be completing a placement 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday) at Ceres PS. Across our 7 weeks here we will be working with students in the classrooms to offer OT services in a school context. This will aim to support students’ engagement in school-based activities for example handwriting, scissor skills, shoelace tying, play, etcetera. We are excited to be working with the students at Ceres PS and thank you for welcoming us into your school community.
