From the Deputy Principal- Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) Update

Over the last two weeks students have been focussing on identifying their emotions and looking at strategies that they can use to calm themselves when they feel that they are heading for the Yellow or Red Zones. It is important to know how we and others are feeling, because every day at different times during the day, feelings can change. If the students know what Zone they are in we can use strategies to help them with their learning. It is ok to be in different zones, but we have to make positive choices.

Year 6 Camp

Our Year 6 classes have returned happy but very tired from our week-long camp to Tallebudgera. Throughout the week we had the opportunity to bushwalk, go tubing and kayaking in Tallebudgera Creek and conquer some fears in the Tree Top challenge at Currumbin.  We were up early every morning watching the sun sparkle on the ocean as we went for our beach walks. The beach provided a great place for body boarding and sand play! Camp was designed around the theme of “Awaken the Hero Within” and we learnt about Warrior, Guardian, Champion and Mastermind Heros and which hero we identify with most! Year 6 have come back to school understanding more about themselves and their classmates and thank the school staff and our families for giving us this opportunity.

“Camp was fun and exciting and we got to do lots of amazing activities” Kate J

“Camp was a thrill and full of adrenaline-based activities.” Nate

“This was the best week of school so far!!!” Sakura

“Take us back!!!!!!” Said ALL of Year 6
