Term 1 is here
For some children, today is filled with excitement, new pencils, fresh books, and big smiles.
For others, it comes with butterflies, worries, and the quiet weight of expectations.
Both are valid. Both deserve space.
Starting a new school year can feel like standing at the edge of something new, there are new teachers, new routines, new friendships, and new challenges. That’s a lot for little nervous systems to hold.
So this new school year, we honour all the feelings.
We celebrate bravery in every form, whether that’s running through the gates or taking a deep breath before walking in.
There is no rush to be perfect.
There is no demand to “have it all together.”
Just courage, curiosity, and support, one day at a time.
Here’s to a term of growth, compassion, and meeting each child exactly where they are. 💛
