RESPONSIBILTY

This term we have been explicitly covering the value of Responsibility, focusing on a different area each week with our students. Each week at assembly, we have a raffle draw, to reward students who have been displaying this value well. It is fantastic to see how many raffle tickets are in the bucket each week to be drawn.  

Let’s have a deeper look at the value of responsibility and its pivotal role in shaping our school community.

Responsibility is more than just a word; it’s a guiding principle that empowers us to make a positive impact on the world around us. In our school, we believe that fostering a sense of responsibility in our students lays the foundation for success, both inside and outside the classroom.

 At its core, responsibility is about taking ownership of our actions, choices, and commitments. It’s about recognizing that we have a role to play in shaping our own destinies and contributing to the well-being of our community. Whether it’s completing homework assignments on time, caring for our school environment, or showing kindness to our peers, every action we take reflects our sense of responsibility.

 Responsibility is nurtured through opportunity. It’s about providing students with the chance to take on meaningful roles and responsibilities within the school community. Whether it’s serving as a classroom helper, participating in extracurricular activities, or leading a school project, these experiences help students develop confidence, leadership skills, and a sense of ownership over their learning journey.

 Responsibility is also about accountability. It’s about recognizing that our actions have consequences and being willing to accept them, whether they are positive or negative. When students understand the impact of their choices and take responsibility for them, they learn valuable lessons about integrity, resilience, and self-discipline.

Farm Sanctuary Program

Well done to the following students who recently completed four weeks at the Farm Sanctuary Program, graduating as very capable Farm Hands. A big thank you to John Simms for co-ordinating the engaging hands-on project. We hope to see John again soon!

Health and Wellbeing 

We are beginning to see cases of COVID in the school again. Please let the school know if your child has tested positive. Reminding children to practice washing their hands and when sneezing or coughing doing this into their elbows are small strategies that can assist with reducing the spread of illnesses. The weather is getting colder, and this is a good time to remind  children about dressing appropriately for the weather such as wearing the uniform jumper, long pants and a coat. We have appreciated the communication from our community about absences and the reasons.
