In Term 2, Year 3 participated in a day built around developing one of life’s important skills, ‘Resilience’. This day was centred around our Unit of Inquiry ‘Who We Are’.
Our school counsellor Miss Lily Mamo spent the morning with Year 3 having many positive discussions unpacking the term resilience and providing our students with strategies to help them develop resilience.
The students continued to engage in rich learning experiences which focused on overcoming problems, perseverance, how to articulate and regulate what we are feeling, building healthy relationships and team building skills.
The students will continue to reflect and build on their learning as the year continues.
• I learnt how you can figure out ways to work through problems and it’s OK to make mistakes. You don’t always need to get it right the first time, you just keep trying. ( Maya 3W)
• I enjoyed completing the perseverance activities because it taught me to keep trying and not to give up. ( Emily 3M)
• I liked the team building activities where I had to work with other kids to untangle our hands. We had to really use our words and listen to each other to finish the activity. ( Oliver 3M)
• I learnt more about the meaning of resilience and how we can build our resilience skills. (Ayla 3B)
• Miss Lily came into our room and spoke about resilience and we did a fun activity about success. It made me think of all the great things I’ve been successful in. ( Lucas 3B)

Junior School Involvement in The Peter Pan Musical
This Term, seventeen Junior School students had the pleasure of joining the St Gregory’s and St Patrick’s College School Musical, Peter Pan.
Imogen M and Emily S took on the magical role of Tinkerbell, sharing the role on Thursday, Saturday, and Friday nights respectively, well done girls ‘Tink, Tink!’
The Junior Lost Boys Ensemble was comprised of Mahlia B, Ben D, Harry F, Amelia G, Polly M, Zachary M, Harvey M and Huxley W. These students accompanied Peter Pan on many adventures through Neverland and did a great job preparing the house for Wendy!
The Junior Braves Ensemble was comprised of Mabel C, Rafaela E, Nneka F, Aliana M, Grace O, Jessica R, and Amalia V . These girls danced their way around with Tigerlily and were enchanting with every step!
A huge bravo to these students and a big thank you to them and their families for giving up their time to rehearse many hours which enabled the cast to produce a fantastic show that got better each night!
It has been a pleasure to join you on this magical journey, and we hope that this is the start of a long and lovely performance career.
