RSPCA Fundraising Cupcake Stall

During a class meeting, Room 31 decided that they wanted to make a difference, however small, to the lives of the 135,000 animals that come through the shelter doors at the RSPCA each year. Subsequently, on Monday the 27th of August, families baked up a storm and we put on our own RSPCA Cupcake Day. We managed to raise $308.35 total by selling doughnuts, brownies, banana bread, biscuits, toffee apples and traditional cupcakes with all proceeds going towards helping rescue, rehabilitate and rehome creatures in need all over South Australia.

On behalf of Room 31, thank you for all your support!!

What are your choices? - reflections on bullying

One of our jobs is to help children and young people to interpret events proportionally. However, in recent times, I have seen a shift involving the wrong application of words like trauma, depression and bullying. When these very meaningful words are misused, unwanted consequences can be the result. What might be the ‘unkind’ behaviour of another may, in fact, not be ‘bullying’.
