Some benefits of practising gratitude are:

• After 21 days, you start to scan the world for positives.
• After 42 days you become:
  • More optimistic, energised & focused.
  • Less likely to get sick.
  • You will sleep better.
  • Anxiety and depression decreases.

A few quick and simple ways to practise being grateful are:

• Journaling; each night write down 3 things that went well for you that day or purchase a gratitude journal with gratitude prompts.
• Write a gratitude letter to someone special, telling them why you are grateful they are in your life.
• Have a family discussion on the way home from school or around the dinner table about the things that went well that day or made you smile.

You can purchase 21-day, 6-month, and family journals from The Resilience Project website if that is something you’re interested in.

Positive Behaviour for Learning

SJV has  also begun working with the Positive Behaviour for Learning team. As part of the process we are finding out what values  our teachers, students and families think are most important to them. The three top values will help us to form a School Behaviour Matrix. Please fill in the Survey by clicking the link to tell us what you are thinking in terms of values. It is important that we work together.
