Gioia House Be Active<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Gioia House students participated in a Gioia House Be Active session on the last day of Term 1. The students were placed in their House groups and rotated through a variety of skills-based activities which were led by two Santa Sabina coaches, Emily and Emmanuel and the Gioia House teachers. The afternoon was filled with skill development, team work, encouragement, smiles and laughter. At the end of the session the students shared that they enjoyed the rotation activities and felt it was a positive and energising way to conlsude a busy and rewarding term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Term 2 pastoral programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our Gioia House teachers deliver a comprehensive Pastoral Care program each week through morning homeroom, dedicated lesson time and Community Time. The Action Girl<\/em> pastoral program is designed to support Year 5 and 6 students in developing age\u2011appropriate social and emotional skills, building positive and respectful relationships, understanding consent, and learning about ethical decision\u2011making, digital citizenship, and responsible behaviours that extend beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Term 2 Action Girl<\/em> program has been designed to complement and enrich the daily experiences of students within Gioia House and the wider College community. Throughout the term, students will engage in pastoral learning that connects with a range of subject areas and College initiatives, including the U R Strong \u2013 Friendology program, the Rock and Water program, the Santa Sisters buddy program, eSafety lessons and various service and outreach opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gioia House students will participate in classroom\u2011based activities, outdoor experiences and whole College events that strengthen their sense of belonging and community at Santa Sabina College. These opportunities aim to foster confidence, resilience, empathy, and a strong commitment to personal and social responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to a wonderful and enriching term ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
