From the Head of Primary
When we love, we go the extra mile…
As we continue to build positive relationships this term, our focus for the fortnight is Love.
- God’s love for us, from Romans 5:8, But God demonstrates his own love for us, in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
- Love of Learning: A passion for learning and a desire to learn for learning’s sake.
When we love, we go the extra mile…
At School this week we are discussing a love of learning and the way in which our children can engage with learning and how to hold onto that learning and deepen it. Love, when learning has important motivational consequences because it helps us to persist through challenges, setbacks and negative feedback. When we love, it helps us to go the extra mile.

Life Education
This week our children have continued to enjoy their visits to the Life Education Van. Life Education is all about children making safer and healthier choices through education. Use the comments that the children make after their visit to further explore topics of interest, make connections between learning at home and school and to instil safe expectations for your child. Parent resources are available on the Life Education website: https://www.lifeeducation.org.au/parents/
