Weelya: $928<\/strong> RAISING A TOTAL OF $3743!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well done to all the Gioia students for helping make a difference to communities who need our help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Gioia House Term 2 Action Girl Pastoral Program will focus on relationships, friendships, belonging, and identifying our personal values. The students will be guided through a series of lessons with a different focus each session. This week, the students focused on relating to the analogy that friendships can be like riding a rollercoaster. All relationships will have unexpected highs, lows, twists and turns along the way. We discussed how we need to adapt and navigate these changes, as they are a common part of dealing with different relationships. This lesson focused on self-compassion, teaching students self-care strategies, and identifying their character strengths. It is important for students to celebrate their positive attributes, which can improve their mental health and wellbeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Rock and Water Pastoral lesson also takes place fortnightly. Last week, our lesson focused on attitudes to resolve conflict. The students identified ways they can take on a rock approach and not succumb to peer-pressure or alter their values; other times it is best to have a water approach, where you still maintain your opinion but respect other opinions too. Depending on the situation, the students identified which approach would be more suitable for different scenarios. The students took part in the practical component of the lesson and positioned their bodies as a \u2018rock\u2019 where they were solid and grounded. The students then moved their bodies like \u2018water\u2019 to represent a more fluid water approach. Our session ended with balancing in our Rooster-pose<\/em> position, where we focused on our breathing, being still and calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marisa Maks<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gioia House Outreach \u2013 Making a Difference Throughout Term 1, the students participated in our outreach initiative to raise money for Project Compassion \u2013 Caritas Charity.
