VIRTUE FOR WEEKS 1/2 - ENTHUSIASM
MISSION STATEMENT: To develop, within a caring environment, the cognitive, social, physical and creative abilities of all children to enable them to realise their
full potential and to maximise future opportunities as members of the community.
Hi everyone Welcome back and I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Did you manage to play games together? This time the suggestions regarding resilience are to do with the brain! Encourage a regular mindfulness practice
Mindfulness creates structural and functional changes in the brain that support a healthy response to stress. It strengthens the calming, rational prefrontal cortex and reduces activity in the instinctive, impulsive amygdala. It also strengthens the connections between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala. When this connection is strong, the calming prefrontal cortex will have more of a hand in decisions and behaviour. Smiling Mind is a good app to use on your phone or tablet.
Exercise Exercise strengthens and reorganises the brain to make it more resilient to stress. Anything that gets kids moving is stellar, but of course, if you can make it fun that pretty much grants you hero status. Here are some ideas, but get them thinking and they’ll have plenty of their own: Throw a frisbee. Kick a ball. Give a hula-hoop a spin. Dance stars. Walk the dog. Superhero tag (the tagged one stands in the middle of a circle on the ground, a superhero saves them
by using their superhero powers to fly with running feet through the circle). Detective (in the park or backyard, the first one to find five things that are green; or five things starting
with ‘s’; or seven things that could be used for dress-ups; or ten things that smell gorgeous—ready, set, go!).
Have fun everyone! Blessings from the Chaplain Sandy Clifton

What boys need from their dads - Part 1
Boys need time from fathers and father-figures.
Teach them that revenge doesn’t solve problems, unlike in the movies or on TV.
Speak and role model
respect for women.
Encourage physical activity, confidence and a healthy view of competition.
