FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents and Carers,
Our week began with the next visit from Ian Luscombe to check in with us about the strong implementation of the BehaveAbility strategies. Ian worked alongside our staff to support every child following every direction, which is always our expectation. We still slip up occasionally and put a polite please in our instructions rather than the strong thank you. The please opens up the door to the instruction being optional. The thank you closes that door and demonstrates we already expect the instruction is being / will be followed.
Do you remember the script we use? Many parents found it to be a life saving approach to supporting their children to follow directions at home. If your children are not readily following your instructions, you may like to try it. Here is the script, you can readily apply the instructions from the school setting to the home.
Today Sofia represented St Patrick's and the Southern Region at the Archdiocesan Public Speaking Competition in Goulburn. Sofia wrote a speech on the topic 'Sport brings us together' with a great twist and lots of humour. Well done Sofia!
St Patrick's Dance Concert rehearsals are well underway with lots of energy and excitement building. It is an expectation that all students perform at both the day and night concert for the success of the class performances. If you haven't booked your tickets yet please follow the links:
