PBS Focus for the Fortnight – “I am respectful when I listen.”

Over the next two weeks, our students will be focusing on being respectful listeners. We will be practising whole body listening, which means taking the time to really listen and understand what others are saying.

This includes listening to instructions, hearing other people’s ideas, and enjoying respectful two-way conversations with our peers and staff.

We’re looking forward to seeing our students demonstrate these great listening skills around the school!

We’d like to share this wonderful community event with our families.
The Disabled Surfers Association South West are hosting a Let’s Go Surfing Day at Bunker’s Bay on Saturday 7th March from 9:30am.
It’s a free event designed to support people with disabilities to enjoy the ocean in a safe and supported environment.
