Act of Kindness in the Community
Each week I send out to all stakeholders a ‘Kindness Thought of the Week’ which helps to promote our school mantra of ‘Our School has a Mind to be Kind’ and hopefully encourages everyone of ways to be kind to others.
During these difficult weeks I have launched an Act of Kindness Award with students sending me examples of their Acts of Kindness.
Following our inaugural Act of Kindness Award which was awarded to Anaiya-Lily, we have had some more inspiring examples from students
Well done this week to:
