From the Principal
A double celebration!
Kids Matter Accreditation
Dave Wild, the Coordinator for Headspace in South Australia, came as a special guest to our AGM. He presented our school with a certificate to acknowledge our accreditation as a Kids Matter School. Kids Matter is a mental health and well being framework for primary school, aimed to nurture happy balanced children.
Considerable work has been undertaken by staff to review our social and emotional learning programs, including What’s the Buzz, Mind Up, Buddy Groups, Transition, Play is the Way, Student Leadership opportunities, Season’s for Growth to name some.
This is quite an acknowledgement for the school and I would like to thank Sally Paparella and Donna King who have led us to this point where well being has a strong presence within the life of the school community.
Campus Library – Makers Empire
Makers Empire is a 3D software package used to create designs to visualise solutions with a focus on innovations.
Campus was acknowledged as the location that has created the most designs, had the greatest usage and compiled the most challenges. This is part of our STEM strategy to incorporate the engineering component to Science, Technology and Mathematics.
Student Leadership
Congratulations to the students elected to the Campus Leadership team, Nativity Student Leadership team and the Nativity Social Justice team. The students were inducted into their roles at a special assembly this morning.
