Year 9 Visual Arts
Year 9 Visual Arts students have been creating Lino Prints which are inspired by the theme of "Coastal/Country/Urban/Suburban-Investigating Local Environments".
Thank you to Taylor Pead, Bella Kilmurray, Emma Marchant, Isabelle Leslight, Makayla Cook, Franjayla Tyson and Abbey Slater for creating the great artwork that now hangs on my office walls; transforming them into a delightful visual space.
Kindness Challenge
Thank you to Ms Mooney for initiating the Kindness Challenge this week in your PC. By definition, 'Kindness' is a type of behaviour marked by acts of generosity, consideration, or concern for others, without having an expectation of praise or reward. It is considered a virtue. I invite you to read Ms Mooney's report below.
Hastings PC05 were issued a challenge this week. Our aim was to be ‘kinder’ people. Students chose via a ‘lucky dip’, an activity that they would try to incorporate into their week, in the aim of making someone else’s day a little brighter. Some of the activities included:
- talking to someone who looked like they may need a friend,
- smiling at five people outside their friendship groups during the school day,
- helping a teacher without being asked,
- thanking their bus driver,
- picking up rubbish – both in the playground or in the classroom just to name a few.
The kindness activities were issued on the back of a Kit Kat. A little kindness for the students before they even started!
With the help of our Practicum Mr Andrew King, the ‘lucky dip’ commenced. Brody Lewis choosing his activity for the week. Jasmine Hurley and Grace King receiving their Kindness challenge.
We hope PC05 managed to spread some kindness this week.
