Positivity is an attitude that is encouraged and embraced; to be shared amongst staff and students with random acts of kindness.

This is a great week to get to know the people around you and to be grateful for the wonderful things you have in your life. Did you know that when we smile it changes brain chemistry? It will lift your mood and lead you to feel joy and happiness.Smiling reduces stress and anxiety.

Many of you wold have noticed Miss Matthews has been walking around the school with a golden labrador. Patty has joined our school community this term. She was originally training to become a Seeing Eye Dog, but was not confident enough. Miss Matthews has adopted her and she comes to school several days per week and works with a variety of students. Patty loves attention, so if you see her around the school feel free to come and give her a pat.
