Year 6 Building Resilience

Our Year 6 students have been mindful and focused each week in their Resilience Project lessons, developing important skills in gratitude, empathy, and mindfulness. These lessons are helping them manage challenges, build strong relationships, and develop a positive mindset.

Most recently, 6C explored Lesson 3: Ripples, which focuses on kindness and empathy. Students discussed how small acts of caring—like helping at home, supporting a friend, or showing kindness at school—can create a ripple effect that spreads through the community. Inspired by the quote, “A simple act of caring creates an endless ripple that comes back to you,” they reflected on how even the smallest actions can make a big difference.

In addition, students also recognised that sometimes people face barriers to showing kindness and empathy, such as fear of judgement, feeling too busy, or not knowing how to help. Together, they explored strategies to break down these barriers, like leading by example, making time for others, and remembering that even small gestures—like a smile or kind word—can have a big impact.

Well done, Year 6! Keep spreading kindness and positivity!

Year 3 Harmony Day

Last Friday, 3F had a fantastic time celebrating Harmony Day. After the whole-school parade, we returned to our classroom to continue the festivities. We celebrated the rich diversity of cultures by sharing food from different parts of the world. The students were excited to try Nepalese spicy fish, Japanese sushi, Indian dishes, and much more. We were delighted to welcome parents and grandparents to join in this cultural feast. Our class enjoyed learning about the languages, flags, customs, and cuisines from countries across the globe.
