Bucket Fillers

Bucket Filler Award

The idea behind the Bucket Filler theory is that each interaction with another person is a chance to build wellbeing. The theory developed by Clifton and Rath is that people have an invisible bucket.

When a person’s bucket is overflowing they feel positive and energised. When a person’s bucket is empty they feel exhausted and sad. Each person also has an invisible dipper. With this dipper they have the power to fill other people’s buckets through thoughtful and supportive interactions. They also have the power to dip from others people’s buckets through unkind interactions. The beauty is that when a person fills a bucket they build their own positive emotions too. Anyone is welcome to nominate Bucket Fillers by completing a nomination form found at the office.

Congratulations to our Bucket Fillers for this week...

Aryan in 6C and Liam in 5B

Playing down ball with some younger students before school last week. They made sure that the students felt comfortable playing down ball with them by encouraging them to join in. They understood that they needed to not be so strict with the rules so that the younger boys could have a fair amount of time playing the game and feel good about joining in. It was lovely to see!
