Maintaining a positive attitude at work does not mean you’re in denial about how bleak the reality of the situation may be. It means you’re choosing to focus on your potential for making a difference, rather than dwelling on the circumstances that you can’t control.

Stage 3 had a great time engaging in a visit from Western Sydney University as part of their First Foot Forward program.

Students enjoyed being out of school and in the pool today during our swimming carnival. It was a great day for day for all 😁😁😁 Campbelltown Public Catherine Flamos

What a great way to start the last week of school before holidays. Students had a blast riding their bikes and scooters in the playground. Campbelltown Public Catherine Flamos

5/6R saved their attendance tokens to have technology time this afternoon. They loved being able to use their tokens for attending school on a reward of their choice 😁😁 Campbelltown Public Lauren Fryer Catherine Flamos

Starting the school holidays with some reading. Absolutely loving this so far!!

Kids appreciate it when you smile at them. They also appreciate you talking to them like a normal person. It doesn’t take much to build a connection. But you gotta like ‘em.

Teachers… I wonder what your students are coping with at home this weekend. Principals… I wonder what your staff is coping with at home this weekend. It will matter when we see them on Monday.

This is such a good idea💕 Often it's not the kid's fault that they are late.

Cute little play space is finished! Quality workmanship by Natural Habitat Landscapes An outdoor kitchen, seats, blocks, stepping stones, permanent & flexible seats & as reading is our thing, a mini outdoor library box was a must! Pasi Sahlberg Murat Dizdar NSW Dept of Education Jude Hayman

Classroom management is best achieved with relationships and community, not compliance. It works with a smile, not a scowl. It works with curiosity, not fear. It works with teachable moments, not punishment.

Be the teacher you wish you had and knew you needed.

Kids sometimes make poor choices (just like adults). Keep in mind though, it’s the conversations we have with them and not just the consequences that make these poor choices learning opportunities.
