Action Girls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Gioia House students gathered together to celebrate our Action Girl Awards. Our Gioia House leaders led the gathering with prayer, shared upcoming Term 4 initiatives and student reminders. As a Gioia House community, we celebrated the many wonderful qualities our nominated Action Girls have displayed, such as: showing compassion and kindness in their interactions with others, being inclusive, being an upstander, taking part in service opportunities, demonstrating a positive mindset and trying their best each day. Ms Skerman presented the Action Girl Awards and badges to the Gioia House students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outreach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the Staff Spirituality Day, we took part in different acts of service within different charities and organisations. The Gioia House staff visited St Vincent De Paul Lewisham and Ryde. We assisted in making sandwiches, preparing snack packs, hygiene packs and helped with general tasks. The coordinators of SVDP shared what services they provide the community and identified their areas of need. They informed us that there is a shortage of deodorant supplies for the community which is why we have asked the Gioia House staff and students to donate deodorant sprays or roll-on deodorant<\/strong>. Another SVDP initiative at Christmas time is to prepare lolly bags to distribute to families in the community to give to their children at this time of year. If you are able to donate a bag of lollies<\/strong> (any type )that would be greatly appreciated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our small acts of kindness can have a big impact on someone else’s day.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and compassion for people in our community <\/em><\/strong>
who are not as fortunate as us.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last week our Gioia House Focus for the week was \u2018Service\u2019. The students were asked to identify ways they serve others in the community or at school. We had a discussion to share the different ways they can demonstrate Acts of Service. The students updated their Personal Service Log and set personal goals they would like to achieve this term to serve others, especially in the lead up to Advent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been an exciting start to Term 4 and we are looking forward to an event filled and rewarding last term of the year together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
