The Australian Curriculum Personal and Social Capabilities have been in full swing this week during our whole school NAIDOC and sports day activities.  These capabilities are embedded across our key learning areas of English, Maths, Science, HPE, HASS, Arts and at an intense level during this last week of school.

First Nations – games and sport day rotations not only have the physical benefits of movement, they also have psychological benefits and teach life skills.

• Trying our best - effort
• Congratulating others
• Resilience: being able to bounce back
• How to be a good winner
• How to be a good loser
• Social skills: turn taking, communication, teamwork, effort, working under time pressures.

I’m so proud of our kids for their ‘can do attitude’ so many experienced anxiousness and overcame it.  I’m proud of our staff and parents for their commitment to support our students to have this learning experience whilst having fun with the whole school community. Well done to all involved.
