Dear Families,

Thank you to all those families who joined us to celebrate our Mother's Day liturgy. Our children are surrounded by loving families and it was a joy to have you all here.

Please look at the SMJ Facebook page for more beautiful photos.

This year our school began our journey in partnership with Real Schools to develop a Restorative Practice approach in our school. Over the coming weeks and months, we will be sharing short articles and videos that you will find useful. The first of these is a brief introduction video outlining the nature of our partnership with Real Schools.

We encourage you to read the two very short articles below about how punishment does not work, and what to do when things go wrong at school. These snapshots provide you with an understanding of the approaches and language we use at school.

In the future, we will share the videos and articles on the Restorative Practice page of the Newsletter.

Wishing you many blessings for the weekend.
