Together we Thrive

"For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people's love and concern for each other." - Millard Fuller

Cultivating a Culture of Connection.

Connection is at the heart of every relationship and at the core of a thriving, loving and compassionate community. A healthy and happy community requires love, respect and care of the people in it. The values of a community are the fabric of the culture you want to create. Sharing your strengths, your values and your desires for your school community is what helps bring out the best in everyone!  A great thing to do is be familiar with your School's Values. They help you connect even more within your school community and what is at the heart of their decision making.

For Parents

How do you positively speak about your school? Where can you make a difference in your school community? What would it look like if you created the community you want for yourself and your family?

Who could you thank and give gratitude to within your school community?

What values do you love about your school?

Share what you love about your school with others?

Look for the good, and shine a light on it even more?

Look up your school’s values and find ways to practise them every day within your home. Our Values are; Optimism. Connection. Empowerment. Freedom. Vitality. Authenticity and Love.

For Educators

What do you love about working at your school?

What school values do you deeply connect with?

What do your school values look, sound and feel like every day within your classroom?

Share with your class what you love about your school community and values. Open up rich conversations around values what they are and how they shape our intentions and our future.

Share what you love about the school as a whole with your classroom. Ask them what they love about their community as well as their classroom. 

Share the school values with the class and ask them to share what they love about them and what they mean to them.  How do they see them present in their daily experiences of the school?

Have the children make their own VALUES POSTER. A wonderful activity to enhance the wellbeing of all.
