Throughout the year it is important that we continually remind ourselves of our school values - Respect, Responsibility, Connection, Courage and Growth.  Our values are central to everything we do.  They reflect what we stand for, support our decision making and guide us in how we work together as a school community.

This term we are turning our focus to the value Courage. Our students will be discussing the meaning of courage and how courage can be demonstrated in their everyday lives. Acting with courage means:

• accepting challenges and embracing opportunities
• thinking creatively and being brave
• being prepared to stand up for what is important
• not giving up
• being innovative and taking calculated risks in some situations

"Courage doesn't always roar.  Sometimes courage is the silent voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow." Mary Anne Radmacher
