Leadership Reflection

Dear Families,

This week I have asked Katelyn and Hurley, our two fantastic School Captains, to write the front page of the newsletter. You will be able to read this below. At SBW, it is important that our students have a voice and we are developing their leadership skills. Earlier this week, we had our two School Captains as well as other students from across the school join our leadership team meeting. This was a fantastic opportunity and provided our students the formal forum to share their thoughts and experiences with the common goal of being the best school we can be. 

As we conclude Week 2, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of the Mothers, Grandmothers, female friends, family members and role models a happy Mother's Day. Mother's Day gives us the opportunity to say thank you to all of the women in our lives for everything they do to support, nurture and assist us all. I look forward to seeing many of you in the morning at our Mother's Day Breakfast. Thank you to our staff who have organised this event and to the Britza family for their organisation of the Plant Stall.

Thank you for your ongoing support,

Nic.

From our School Captains:

Late last term, in Grade Six, our leadership day taught us the values of a good leader and how to show them. Some examples of the values are respect, care, honesty, trust, love and kindness. We show these values by treating others how you would like to be treated, greeting people and helping anyone in need. We learnt that it takes great courage to stand up and speak in front of a group of people.

In our new school playground, students have been respecting the equipment by taking turns and using it responsibly. They use it with care and are responsible while playing on the equipment. Hurley and I participated in a leadership meeting about what we are going to improve around the school. We look forward to updating you further about our school next term.

Katelyn and Hurley
