The Healthy Habit for this week is RESPECT

It is important to show respect to others

Respecting other people means treating others as you want them to treat you. It means you have to stop and think about the feelings and rights of others. Respect involves being polite and using good manners, not insulting or hurting others, not getting in the way of others when they are trying to do something, looking after shared property and the property of others, asking permission to use things that belong to someone else, and speaking in a polite tone of voice.

It is important to respect yourself

Self-respect is when you like and accept yourself. You believe that you matter and should be treated well by others. If you have self-respect then you also self-protect eg. You take care of yourself and keep yourself from harm. If you self-respect, you speak up when someone doesn’t treat you respectfully.

Colgate Community Garden Challenge

Lyndhurst Primary School has entered the Colgate Community Garden Challenge, to go in the running to win one of five community garden set ups. The prize consists of three garden beds, two custom made benches and a $500 Bunnings voucher.

To be eligible to win this prize, our school needs to collect used oral care products to be recycled, which will gain points for our school. We can also gain extra points for our school by voting online.

The used products that can be recycled are any brand of toothpaste tubes, toothbrushes, plastic toothbrush packaging, cardboard toothpaste packaging and standup toothpaste bottles. Collection boxes will be placed at the front of the library. The challenge closes on 30th September.

Please get on board and help us to be in the running for a fantastic prize for our school.
