From the Assistant Principal
Welcome back to Term 3. This term is very busy with assements, HSC Trial Examinations, Year 11 End of Course Examinations, End of Year 12 celebrations and leadership training.
It is essential that all students are focused on their studies and look after their wellbeing. Being organize, getting sleep and keeping on top of all their work and home commitments is essential.
Please see teachers for support if you are concerned at any time.
Safety on the road.
Everyone is reminded about crossing busy roads. I have seen students crossing the road dangerously. Please use crossings and give yourself time to go the extra few steps safely rather than cross a road dangerously.
Three steps to better habits
It is very easy for us to develop bad habits and its difficult at times to break these habits. It is important to be able to identify the bad habits and make plans to change them into positive habits. The following is a 3 step way that you can change your habits.
- Identify what is holding you back. What is causing the problem, e.g. procrastination, fear, laziness etc.
- Law of replacement. Choose a habit you want to change and replace it with a new one.
- Cancel, Cancel. Cancel out negative thoughts and replace it with a positive thought.
Once you start using a new behaviour you will find it easy to make this a new habit. Remember to stick with it at the start and it will become second nature.
What is in the Planner?
We have Kindness week coming up and thanks to the students that have worked to develop activities for this week. Kindness can make a huge difference in a person’s life. It helps grow relationships and can make others feel good about what they do for others.
Key Character Strengths to focus on are Humility. Use this to focus on feedback, empathy and forgiveness.
God Bless
