It is with great pleasure that I share with you our two most recent recipients of the Aussie of the Month award. Mollie Pohlner and Isaac Mowles are two students at LNPS who role model our school values of RESPECT, CARE & CONCERN, HONESTY and the PURSUIT of EXCELLENCE at all times. Please see below testimonials from school staff about both Mollie and Isaac.

Wellbeing advice from Mr Skrob 

Each Wellbeing and Engagement article I will have a wellbeing advice section like this one for students to read. 

 

This edition focuses on 'The Power of Yet!' While concepts at school or new skills can at times be tricky to master, it is important to remember to use growth mindset language to train your brain to persist when you are finding new learning challenging. Train yourself to say 'I haven't mastered it YET!' instead of 'I can't do this.'
