Wellbeing

Term 4, Week 5

This week, our students continued exploring identity and the similarities and differences between individuals. 

Some students completed an “Identity Wheel” (inspired by a colour wheel) and listed the many things that make them who they are. The students took the time to look around at each other’s identity wheels, noticing how they were different and similar to one another.  

The students saw how a colour wheel works and noted that the wheel looks white while spinning but is actually made up of lots of colours. People are a bit like colour wheels; we can look at others and think we know what they are like (like we think the colour wheel is white when we spin it). But when we slow down and get to know others better, we can see different parts of their personality and life (like the different colours we observe on the colour wheel when it is still).
