We dedicated an afternoon to encouraging and equipping our beloved Year 5 students to navigate the changes they face as they grow. Recognising that boys and girls have unique needs, we tailored the experiences to ensure everyone felt supported and valued.
Our afternoon was filled with activities designed to encourage their souls! Students enjoyed a variety of engaging and fun activities, including outdoor games, watercolour painting, afternoon tea, and impromptu dance sessions. These activities not only provided enjoyment but also allowed students to express themselves creatively and bond with their peers.
One of the highlights was the expert advice shared by our dedicated and generous staff. They provided valuable insights on self-care and the journey of growing up, addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of change. Our goal was to equip our students with practical tools and knowledge to help them navigate this important phase of their lives and strengthen their experience of belonging and preciousness.
We emphasised the importance of recognising each student's unique worth. We reminded them that they are wonderfully made by our Creator God, each with their own extraordinary gifts and potential. This foundational belief is at the heart of our approach to education and wellbeing, ensuring that every child feels known, loved, and valued.
The afternoon was a beautiful blend of learning, fun, and equipping, reinforcing our commitment to the holistic development of our precious students. By providing a nurturing environment and tailored experiences, we aim to help our Year 5 students thrive through the changes they encounter, confident in their unique, God-given identities.
