Welcome back to Term 4! I trust you all had a restful and relaxing break, and I hope you all found some time to do something you love. This term is sure to fly by and it’ll be the end of the year before we know it (and let’s face it, we’ve all seen the Christmas goodies on the shelves in the shops already!). We have a busy term ahead of us; we only have a few days left with our Year 12 cohort on campus before they head off to complete their final exams. Everyone else has exams and assessments looming too but honestly, just take it all in, dig deep and try your best because it will go so fast.

Breakfast Club will continue each morning and as the weather has started to warm up, a glass of cool juice is becoming a more popular choice. Again, feel free to pop over, grab a drink or piece of toast, say hi and tell me what’s going on in your world.    

To finish off, I’d like to share with you something I read recently. It resonated with me because I have seen how easy it is to become affected by the actions of the people we surround ourselves with. Imagine you had $86,400 in your bank account and somebody stole $10. Would you be so upset that you would throw away the remaining $86,390 in the hopes of getting back at that person? Or would you move on and live? Exactly – move on and live! We all have 86,400 seconds each day. Don’t let a negative 10 seconds ruin your remaining 86,390. Try not to sweat the small stuff, focus on what’s important and keep people in your circle who bring positivity and happiness into each and every day.
