🎭📖 We look forward to seeing our students dressed up and ready to share their love of reading!
Student councillors proudly attended the ANZAC Day Ceremony Service at Chidlow, demonstrating respect and gratitude for those who served and sacrificed in times of war. They represented our school with dignity, participating in the solemn proceedings that included wreath laying, moments of silence, and the recitation of commemorative readings. Their presence highlighted the importance of young people engaging with community traditions and honouring national history. By attending the service, the councillors not only paid tribute to veterans but also strengthened their understanding of the values of courage, mateship, and remembrance that ANZAC Day embodies.
Olsen B did an amazing job in reciting the ANZAC Requiem.
Wow – we were absolutely egg-static! The students looked egg-ceptional at the Easter Hat Parade. A huge thank you to our families and students for the egg-straordinary effort that went into creating such amazing hats. The creativity was truly un-egg-pected, and the students had an egg-citing time parading their wonderful creations.
The colouring-in competition was also egg-cellent, with many beautifully coloured entries that made judging a real challenge!
A very big thank you to our generous sponsors who kindly donated an egg-stra special range of chocolates, gifts and vouchers for prizes. We also appreciate the families who donated, helping us give out such a fantastic number of prizes.
Well done, to all students who hatched a win in the hat parade, colouring-in competition and raffle – you all did a crack-ing job!
The Resilience Project – Supporting Student Wellbeing
At our school, we are committed to nurturing not only strong learners, but happy, resilient, and emotionally healthy children. To support this, we proudly implement The Resilience Project (TRP) as part of our wellbeing and learning framework.
TRP is an Australian, evidencebased wellbeing program designed to build resilience, happiness, and emotional literacy in students. It supports children to develop lifelong skills that promote positive mental health, emotional awareness, and strong relationships.
TRP is built around the GEM framework, which provides students with practical and meaningful strategies they can use at school, at home, and beyond:
Gratitude – Encouraging students to recognise and appreciate the positive aspects of their lives.
Empathy – Helping students develop understanding, kindness, and compassion for others.
Mindfulness – Teaching students to be present, selfaware, and calm in their daily lives.
Emotional Literacy – Supporting students to identify, understand, and manage their emotions in healthy ways.
Through engaging lessons, relatable stories, and ageappropriate humour, students learn how to build sustainable habits that strengthen their emotional wellbeing. The program is inclusive and accessible, helping children feel supported and understood.
Research and evaluations show that TRP:
Enhances social and emotional skills
Builds resilience and optimism
Positively supports academic engagement and outcomes
Reduces the risk of anxiety and depression in students
By teaching TRP, we are equipping our students with essential skills that help them navigate challenges, build positive relationships, and develop a strong sense of selfworth. These skills support not only success at school, but wellbeing throughout life.
We value the partnership between school and home and encourage families to engage in conversations around Gratitude, Empathy, Mindfulness, and Emotional Literacy to support and reinforce learning beyond the classroom.
