Boneo Buzz: 29th May

Resilience is being able to bounce back from stress, challenge or adversity. When children are resilient, they are braver, more curious, more adaptable, and more able to extend their reach into the world. The great news is that resilience is something that can be nurtured in all children. 

The majority of our children have coped well and are able to happily walk to class from the oval. Some children may take more time and that is to be expected considering they have been off site for nine weeks. It is so important that the adults in their life support them to not shy away from challenge but develop coping strategies. Please let teachers know if your child needs more assistance with transition. I noticed today that there was a huge improvement, children were happily running across the oval and straight into class. Over the coming weeks, I trust that our community will continue to work together to support our children to develop more independence.

Arrival and Departure for Week 8

I ask all parents to assist us in the following way:

• Traffic is one way, entering from Boneo Road, beside the tennis court heading to the cricket club, follow the road to exit at Limestone Road. The Shire devised this traffic plan for Boneo Primary School and I need all parents to adhere to this in the interest of everyone’s safety.
• Next week, Prep students will meet their teachers on the oval, outside the Hall at the gate and walk straight to class.
• All children in Years 1 and 2 are asked to walk across the oval before school. Teachers will meet students in the classroom. If your child requires extra support in the morning, let us know.
• Leaders, specialist staff and upper school teachers will be on the oval to encourage students to walk to class.
• Parents/carers are to maintain a minimum of 1.5m social distance from each other.
