INTRODUCING WWPS’S SIX PILLARS OF CHARACTER

As mentioned earlier in the term, there has been a lot of discussion and collabora-

tion between students and staff about revisiting our core school values. Over the

coming weeks this year, we will be focusing on introducing these character values

and will be looking to you, our parents, family, friends and school community to

not only discuss these with your children but to live and demonstrate these along-

side us.

The Six Pillars of Character is a borrowed framework which aligns perfectly with

our chosen core values. The agreed upon ethical values of: Trustworthiness;

Respect; Responsibility; Fairness: Caring and Citizenship will be used at Wagga

Wagga Public School to help instil a positive learning environment for students

and a ‘culture of kindness’ for all, ensuring our school remains and continues to

thrive as a safe, caring and welcoming environment for our

children to learn. Have a great week.

Mindfulness in the Classroom

We know that to really make a positive impact

on children’s mental health, we need to provide

them with skills that can be used throughout

their lives. If we tune in to our body and our

mind through mindfulness and meditation, we

can improve our learning. The Smiling Mind

Education Programs are mapped to the

curriculum and designed to support educators

to bring mindfulness into the classroom.

The Smiling Mind Education Program offers

mental health and wellbeing tools designed for

primary and secondary aged children. It has

been successfully implemented in a wide

variety of government and non-government

schools with positive results in classes of all

sizes, backgrounds, locations and ages.

The Smiling Mind Education Program has been

proven to help students with sleep, wellbeing,

managing emotions, concentration and school

behaviour including reductions in bullying. The

program also assists with:

stress management,

increased resilience,

increased creativity,

better decision making, and

a sense of calm, clarity and

contentment.

Research has shown that involving the whole

community – teachers, parents and students –

is the most effective way to gain the long-

lasting benefits of mindfulness.

DEBATING TEAMS

SRC FUNDRAISER

Don’t Forget!

DONATION WEEK IS COMING UP! This week is the SRC fundraising donation collection week. Money raised will go to

purchasing new toys for the Children’s Ward at the Wagga Wagga Rural Referral

Hospital. A few weeks ago, your child (eldest child) would have received a white envelope stapled

to a Fundraising note. Please use this envelope to place your donation in and put it in the box

labelled ‘SRC Fundraiser’. This box will be in the front office until the end of this week, Friday

9th May. If you have lost the white envelope, please place your monetary donation in a snap lock bag

with your child’s name and amount enclosed on it and place it in the box.

Next Wednesday, 14th June (Week 8) we will be holding a Wacky Wednesday. Students can

dress looking ‘wacky’. The SRC are hoping to meet their target of $1000 so they can make their

teachers dress/look wacky on this day too.

Last Thursday, the Whisperers took on The Rock Central School while the Wonders faced off against

Corowa Public School, with both teams coming up winners! It’s also fantastic to see big improvements from

our beginning team (Wonders) while our experienced team (Whisperers) are being exposed to different

roles and responsibilities.

In Week 5, WWPS participated in the Tony Lockett Shield. We were lucky to receive some warm weather

and it was fantastic to see the sportsmanship that was demonstrated throughout the day by our players.

Also, thank you to the parents who were able to assist with transport.
