The great challenge for educators these days is not only about teaching students how to learn and acquire skills in an increasingly complex world, but also about how to help them become people of good character.

On November 10th, students gathered in the undercover area to watch the year level winners compete in the Junior, Middle and Upper years Letters and Numbers competition.

Students crunched their way through 22kg of apples, 8 kg of carrots, 3 kg of mandarins, 10 broccoli, 4 cauliflower, 4 celery heads and 2 kg of capsicum.

Students from Years 3, 4 and 6 were invited to be part of the consultation process to inform the Commissioner for Children and Young People of their views and ideas about school and learning.

Research has found that teaching children social and emotional skills at school as well as at home makes a positive difference to their wellbeing.
