Our PB4L fortnightly focus for week 7 & 8 is demonstrating respect towards others. This aligns to the Benedictine value of Love of Christ and Neighbour.

What does this mean?

Love of Christ and Neighbour: We will encourage students to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, sacraments, and reflection. Students will be taught to demonstrate love, kindness, and compassion towards others, treating everyone with respect and dignity.

What can students do?

• Students can show kindness to one another by sharing a smile with someone in the playground, classroom, saying good morning to teachers and friends in the morning and good afternoon when leaving, using only kind words with friends and including others in games.
• Students can be upstanders when they hear unkind words or see unkind actions on the playground. This means speaking up and getting help.

What can teachers do?

• Teachers can be handing out tokens to students who are showing kindness to others on the playground.
• Teachers can also be talking to students in class to remind them about what kindness looks like and sounds like.
• Model kind words when speaking with students, teachers and school community.

What can parents and carers do?

• Parents can help students to understand different perspectives and emotions, fostering empathy towards others.
• Reinforce the importance of being kind, helpful, and considerate towards everyone, regardless of differences.
