Braidwood Show
Thank you to our vounteers who will be helping at the St Bede's Drink Stall at the Braidwood Show. A reminder that any donations of baked goods can be dropped at school tomorrow. I look forward to seeing many of you at the Show!
Student Absences
Yesterday, reminders were sent via Compass regarding unexplained absences. If you received a notification, please head to the Compass Parent Portal to update your child’s attendance as soon as possible. If you have a query regarding unexplained absences, please contact me via email and I will investigate and update accordingly. Often the reason for discrepancies is when students arrive late (after 8:55am) and have not been signed in at the Front Office by a parent or guardian.
Student Communication Devices
Please see the new St Bede’s Communication Device Statement of Practice that has been developed in line with Catholic Education Canberra Goulburn policy documentation.
The Resilience Project
This year, we are excited to be implementing the Resilience Project from Kindergarten to Year 6.
This week as a family, I encourage you to explore the notion of Gratitude. Gratitude involves recognising and expressing appreciation for the people, places and things in our lives. Practicing gratitude allows us to pay attention to what we have, increasing feelings of happiness and leading to a more positive outlook on life.
Perhaps you could use the below prompts during a family meal to get help grow gratitude as a family:
Have a wonderful end to the week!
Kind regards,
Amy Doszpot
Assistant Principal
