Library Competitions

We have had a delay in the building and judging of our bunkers & art competition. Therefore, the judging of these competitions will take place Wednesday, 27  April 2022 (Term 2, Week 2). The award ceremony will now take place on Monday, 2 May 2022 (Term 2, Week 3). Students are more than welcome to take their bunkers home and work on them over the holidays if they wish so. 

The Breakfast Club

Just a reminder that the Breakfast Club is in full swing, with plenty of old faces and new ones making the most of what is offered to the students. For those who are unaware, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, from 7:30 am to 8:40 am there is a table in front of our Home Ec classroom that consists of;

• Toast (Jam, Vegemite, Honey etc.)
• Cereal
• Juice (in summer)
• and last, but most certainly not least, MILO!!!!!! (Options for hot or cold depending on seasons and weather).

Reflection

This is the last week of what has been a crazy start to the year. It is important we take the time over these holidays to relax and just learn to laugh, as one of the best things for our souls is to laugh.

Below are some ways to laugh when you feel like yelling.

Look for laughter: when confronted with a tough situation, ask yourself the following questions:

• Is there a funny side to this?
• Will I look back on this and laugh? Can I laugh at it now?
• Who could show me the funny side?

Funny Journal: Grab yourself a journal and a pen and record three funny incidents or moments from your day. Writing them down helps to prolong the positive and makes us conscious of the small, hilarious things that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. 

Funny Tribe:  Find the people who make you laugh and keep them with you. Keep them close, seek them out, love them hard. They are the ones who will help you see the lighter side when you can’t do so for yourself.
