FROM THE REC
Today we celebrate the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary our St. Mary’s Feast Day. We honour her on this day, remembering the words of the Angelus prayer.
The Resilience Project
The Resilience Project curriculum was designed by teachers for teachers and aligns with NSW and Australian Curriculum standards and framework in the areas of Personal and Social Capabilities and the Health and Physical Education.
The program is based on the philosophy that, in order to live a happier more fulfilling life, we need to regularly practise Gratitude, Empathy (kindness) and Mindfulness. Emotional literacy – having self-awareness and recognition of one's own feelings and knowing how to manage them – is also an integral part of the program.
GEM Award Week 7
Each week we teachers conduct a formal lesson based on one of these practises and the students complete an entry into their Resilience Journals.
