Another important Grow Your Mind concept to look after our mental health is Shark vs. Dolphin thoughts. We are faced with many situations each day and it is vital we use our OWL and ELEPHANT to help us make wise decisions.
For example, you make a mistake on your work.
A shark thought is a harmful thought about yourself. You can challenge this thinking with dolphin thoughts. These are an optimistic way of thinking.
“Everyone makes mistakes, we learn from our mistakes”
“I have the confidence to try again”
“I can ask someone for help”
If you have a Shark thought how will you turn it into a Dolphin thought?
In line with legislation, schools must engage with the student, as well as their parents, carers, and guardians, regarding the student's disability and the reasonable adjustments needed. While parental consent is not necessary for the NCCD, schools should strive to keep parents, guardians, and carers informed about the student's inclusion in the NCCD.
Dr Emma Steer explains the differences between learning differences, learning difficulties and learning disabilities.
A major highlight was the PSSA Knockout Touch Football Gala Day, where both our boys’ and girls’ teams represented the school with pride.
The boys' team showed outstanding teamwork and resilience, winning all three of their opening rounds in impressive fashion. Their attacking flair and strong defence were on full display as they worked together seamlessly to overcome each of their opponents. They now progress confidently into the next stage of the knockout competition.
Our girls' touch football team also had a fantastic showing, claiming victories in their first two matches before being narrowly defeated in the third round. Despite the result, the girls should be incredibly proud of their efforts and the way they represented our school with determination and spirit.
In soccer, our girls’ team secured a hard-fought victory in their fourth-round PSSA knockout match against Redhead Public School. It was a closely contested game, but our team demonstrated strong skill and teamwork to come out on top. The win means our girls advance to the next round of the competition, and we wish them all the best as they continue their knockout campaign.
Our school basketball team also participated in their PSSA knockout gala day recently, playing four competitive matches. They finished the day with two excellent wins and gained valuable experience in their other two matches. It was a great opportunity for our players to develop their skills, enjoy playing as a team, and represent Caves Beach with pride. The team showed great sportsmanship throughout the day and should be proud of their efforts.
