WELLBEING @ ST PAT'S

The character strength of OPEN -MINDEDNESS invites us to consider another point of view. We do not have to agree with it but to acknowledge that other people do not see life the same way as you do. Until we celebrate and embrace “difference” our mind will do become open as difference is the very essence of who we are. No-one looks exactly like YOU, thinks exactly like YOU or behaves exactly like YOU.

Mindfulness Challenge: See if this week you can look at both sides of a situation and listen to other people’s ideas.

A picture book that shows open-mindedness is called “Duck! Rabbit!” by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld and a movie is called “The Iron Giant” (PG)

PEER MEDIATION

Our Peer Mediators are now volunteers and are assisting on the junior playground every break time five days a week. I am very impressed with their enthusiasm to build their leadership skills.

NEWS ON LOCATION

News on Locations is a tri weekly news broadcast keeping students informed about what is happening at St Pats. Isobel, Nate and Ella were our first Media crew and now we are opening up spaces for senior students to volunteer to read the news or film. You can see these broadcasts though seesaw in activities. Listen on Monday, Tuesday and Fridays.

SHINE ONLINE

Today three students were videoed on a greenscreen for our SHINE ONLINE virtual concert. If you child has a talent in the Creative Arts and would like to share this talent with the St Pats Community please let Ms Spicer know.

PASSION CLUBS

Today the two Passion Clubs will begin and run till the end of term. The CIRCUIT PASSION CLUB led by Ella, Isobel, Brooke and Alisha will be held on the grass in the Junior playground. Also the BALLET PASSION CLUB will be held in the Library today for those students who love to express themselves through dance.
