This term our Action Girl Pastoral Program focus is\u00a0resilience<\/em>. This week, the Gioia House students watched a performance titled \u2018Be Brave\u2019. Throughout the performance, students looked at how to be in tune with their emotions, coping strategies when they have to deal with change, loss, friendships and other stressful life events.\u00a0The Being Brave<\/em>\u00a0performance provided the students with positive strategies they can use to cope with emotions and adapt to change at home, at school and online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During our Action Girl Pastoral lessons, we will continue to discuss and unpack some of the situations that were brought up during the performance and how each character was able to process their emotions and deal with each situation.\u00a0Being Brave<\/em>\u00a0encourages students to feel empowered and seek help to face life\u2019s challenges with confidence and compassion. The performance also reminded the students about the importance of online cyber safety and to always talk to a trusted adult when faced with challenging life situations. We encourage parents to talk to their child about some of the themes brought up in this performance, maintain open communication and discuss strategies to use when challenges arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to Mr John Pane for collecting the donations and organising the items to be packed and shipped to the Philippines. We hope our small contribution will help the community in Manilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This week our Gioia House community time focused on personal wellbeing. Students identified ways they can relax, calm their mind, reset, have a positive outlook and be in tune with personal emotions. We discussed looking after your mental health is as important as looking after your physical health. The students took part in mindfulness colouring-in, drawing, writing a prayer or reading.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
