PosEd Parent workshop

This morning we had a small but enthusiastic group of parents involved in our second Positive Education parent workshop. Today, we were exploring what Wellbeing is, how we can take steps to improve our own wellbeing as well as the wellbeing of those around us, and explored what it means to flourish. We were fortunate to have Edwina Ricci from the Maroondah Positive Education Project lead our conversation today, and it was fantastic to hear people from the RNPS community sharing their own thoughts and experiences, as well as thinking about the ways we can work together as a community to help those around us flourish, too. We are looking forward to the next workshop in term 4. I am hoping to be able to have this workshop run during the evening to enable more of our school community to attend. 

Prep CBL Science Expo

It was so much fun this week to visit the prep classrooms and see the amazing work they have been doing this term in learning about what things make up a community. The preps have worked together to come up with some fabulous constructions showing all the important elements of a community, and were excitedly sharing their work. It was wonderful to hear them speaking so articulately about their reasons for choosing certain places, and it was a fantastic demonstration of just how far these little people have come over the past 9 months. What a spectacular job!
