Term 3 is now underway and already it is shaping up to be a busy and enjoyable term. We started the term by reflecting on the expectations and guidelines in the senior school. The children were great at recalling the 19 'rules' and we had a great opening discussion based on consequences and the way you are perceived by others.
Here is an overview of the term ahead, i look foward to the children's many achievements.
Big Idea: Who am I and what do I want to be seen as?
