B Kinder Day

The final day of Term 2 saw the Primary School come alive with warmth and positivity as students from Kindergarten to Year 6 took part in B Kinder Day, a dedicated focus day that shone a spotlight on the power of kindness in all its forms.

Classrooms transformed into kindness hubs as girls created heartfelt paper chain pledges with each link representing a promise to spread kindness in their homes, school, environment and community. From offering help to classmates to standing up for fairness, these chains became symbols of generosity and empathy. Other activities focused on self-compassion where students explored the idea that being kind starts from within.

A highlight of the day for Kindergarten to Year 3 was a visit from clinical psychologist and author, Dr Marcelle Moore, who shared her empowering book, Even Lions Get Scared. Through engaging storytelling and discussion, she helped students understand that everyone, no matter how brave, can experience the ‘wobbles’. And that feeling scared or anxious sometimes is normal!

Years 4 to 6 students took a closer look at what it means to be body kind. Through thought-provoking conversations and activities from the Butterfly Foundation, the girls unpacked how to develop a healthy relationship with their bodies, celebrating function, uniqueness and resilience over appearance.

B Kinder Day concluded with a joyful K–6 Assembly led by the Kindness Committee, where students shared reflections, showcased their pledges and celebrated the day’s learnings. An encore performance of Hope is a Thing with Feathers by the Years 3 to 6 Choir was also a lovely addition.

Throughout the day our students learned that kindness has no age limit and when nurtured, it can create a ripple of change. The positive feeling in the school was infectious and made for a very uplifting end to the term.
