Our PBL Koala went on some adventures in out school bus to Bunnings and shops with the Senior School yesterday. We are so glad he got to go shopping and meet some new friends all the while being safe and respectful! Classes that log a high number of gotchas for Positive Behaviour will have the pleasure of our Koala's company in coming weeks.

During Bullying No Way Week, and every week, we can all be bold, be kind and to speak up against bullying.

Kindness isn’t just about big gestures—it’s in the small things we do every day. A smile, a kind word, or inviting someone to join your group can completely change someone’s day.

Bullying often targets people who feel left out or different. But kindness builds connection, and connection helps stop bullying before it starts. You can make a huge difference just by choosing to be kind—especially when it’s not the easiest option.

Try this: give someone a compliment today. Say hello to someone new. Stand up for someone who’s alone. These little things matter more than you know.

Kindness is contagious. Pass it on.

"My brain is SUPER IMPORTANT! It helps me do all of my thinking, moving, learning and connecting. When my brain is healthy and strong, I am happy and it is fun to learn."
We as a school are implementing the REBOOT tools for our students to thrive in learning and life. Reboot creates calm brain-friendly learning environments with actively engaged learners. Our brains can be understood as having 3 parts:
A Wild Brain looks after our bodies and keeps us alive.
The Emotional Brain looks after our feelings and desires, and
the Smart Brain looks after our thinking and language and finding strategies. More information to come.

Be Bold: You have the power to help
Being bold doesn’t mean putting yourself in danger – it means choosing to do what’s right. Standing up shows others that bullying is not accepted.
Our school is participating in Bullying No Way: National week of action, 11 to 15 August 2025

Today we wore our comfy pajamas to school to show our support for children in foster care. Through our Pajama Day participation, we raised awareness and funds for the Pajama Foundation, an incredible organisation that helps children in foster care with learning, life skills and confidence. Thank you for joining in the fun!
