Religion and Values Department

Every year at Sirius College the Religion and Values department organises a religion and values week for all of the primary students in Eastmeadows. Some of the activities that were initiated this year for the students were, drawing competition and kahoot quiz. Colouring activities in lower primary included, Prophet Suleyman's Hoopoe bird, Prophet Noah's Ark, Prophet Salihs camel, and Prophet Davoud's armour. Every student in lower primary was involved in one of the activities, allowing them to learn what the prophets were known for when they were doing their missions. We have given some awards and prizes for the students who came first in the drawing and Kahoot competition. All the students in primary enjoyed the REV week and we thank all staff for their support.

Confidence!

Confidence

Dear Parents,

Our YCDI Value for Term 3 is Confidence. Not everyone is born with an inbuilt sense of self-confidence. Sometimes it can be hard to feel confident. We really encourage you to support us in helping your child build his/her confidence. These are some of the things you can do.

• Talk to your child about the things they have achieved at school. You can make a list of all the things that you are proud of them for. If your child is low in confidence, pull out the list and remind them of all the awesome things they have done.
• Encourage your child to think of things they are good at. What are your child's strengths and talents? If children recognise the things they are good at and try to build on these, it will build their self-confidence.
• At Sirius College we teach children the importance of goal setting because we believe that when children work towards achieving their goals, they feel a sense of accomplishment and it helps them to stay motivated in school. With your help, your child can set goals at home. They don't have to be big goals; it can be something as simple as learning how to play a challenging game.
• It's important for children to have a hobby. What is your child passionate about? When children engage in an activity they are passionate about, they will likely to succeed in it.

We hope that with your support, we will be able to help your child develop more confidence in themselves and their wonderful and unique abilities. If you have any questions, please speak to your child's teacher.
