Wellbeing For Learning
Optimistic October
Sometimes, we must remind ourselves that hope is possible, even in difficult times. This month, you can be a realistic optimist by taking small positive steps and helping others.
Please see and share the Optimistic October calendar, which is full of inspiring daily ideas.
Also, try the finding hope meditation to give yourself a lift.
Let’s Continue our Consistent Predictable Routines
Let us continue placing a strong emphasis on maintaining consistent and predictable routines for the benefit of all. Please take note of the following guidelines to ensure a smooth transition between classes and we ask that parents/carers/guardians remind their child of these expectations and assist them by ensuring they have the correct material to ensure they are ‘ready to learn’.
- Seating Between Classes: We kindly remind all students to remain seated in their classrooms during transitions between periods 1 and 2 and 4 and 5. Leaving classrooms during these intervals is discouraged.
- Prompt Transition: Should you need to move to a different room, we expect you to arrive within 3 minutes of the period's starting time. It's essential to be punctual, as your classroom teacher will note lateness on the attendance roll.
- Organised Materials: To promote efficiency, ensure your laptops and relevant materials for periods 1 and 2 and 4 and 5 are organised in advance. Please refrain from leaving your classes to retrieve materials between classes.
Following these routines can create a more helpful learning environment for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to making Term 4 productive and successful.
