Community News....
Easter is almost with us, and I find myself asking where has the term gone? For me it has been so long and yet so short! There's still so much to get done, but as they say, time waits for no one. First term always coincides with Easter, and I always cherish the liturgies of this season. They remind me of the delicate nature of human life, and the joys and sorrows that are woven into our existence.
However, celebrating Easter without children (at least for me!) wouldn't be the same. Their innocent joy, genuine happiness, and unique perspectives always teach me something new. It's a reminder that children, no matter their age, hold a wealth of wisdom. Take some extra time to appreciate them this Holy season! May the peace and hope of the risen Christ fill your hearts this Easter.

PROJECT KINDNESS - YEAR 5
Grade 5 has launched an inspiring initiative – the Kindness Project! With the aim of spreading joy and smiles throughout our school community, our students are embarking on a mission of compassion. Through small yet meaningful acts like offering encouragement, lending a helping hand, and sharing heartfelt notes, they're making a big difference. Let's join them in cultivating a culture of kindness that brightens our days and lifts our spirits!

- This term the 5R class created a project. Project kindness. It was created so that the year 5 students can become nicer people! Every time we are kind and a teacher or student notice and they report back to Miss Rice, Mrs W or Mrs Hazel they may choose to put a point up on our kindness poster. Our first week we said hello and asked how people's days had been and what we could do to make it even better! The second one was that we did positive affirmations on a yellow or blank piece of paper and handed them out and displayed them across the school. Finally, we have been making friendship bracelets! In this project I have learned that people can be nicer than they seem and even little acts of kindness can change people’s days. - Khloe S
- This term in grade 5 we have been doing a kindness project. We can be kind by saying 'how has your day been' and 'what can I do to make it a better day', making friendship bracelets, doing kind actions, saying kind words, making kindness cards. People have to report back to Miss Rice or to see that we are being kind and she has spy teachers to spy on 5R to see if we are being kind. In this project I have learned it can be really easy to brighten up someone's day with a small action. - Addison W
- In 5R we are doing project kindness. We have to be very kind not only to others but to ourselves. We learned about affirmations and use them to make people smile. - Bella B
