World Teacher's Day

Our teachers make a difference every day, educating and inspiring our Craigslea Learners. Last Friday was World Teachers' Day and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and thank our teachers for their important role in our community and for the positive impact they have on the lives of students.

This year we said thank you to our teachers for ‘teaching through every moment’. We acknowledge and show appreciation for the many ways teachers provide support and inspiration to our students. Special thanks to our incredible teachers! It is a pleasure to work with such dedicated team.

We also had the opportunity to celebrate career milestones with some of our dedicated teachers. We acknowledge those teachers who have reached 10, 20, 25, 30, 35 and even 40 years of service with the Department of Education. Congratulations and thank you for your passion and dedication to teaching!

PBL & Social-Emotional Learning

The focus for the fortnight is: 

Be a Friend – We treat others as we wish to be treated. 

The focus this fortnight turns to the expectation of Be a Friend, the value of respect and the importance of using kind words, kind voice and kind actions. Kindness is so easy to show towards others and evokes feelings of happiness in both the giver and receiver. Teachers will discuss the importance of treating others the way you would like to be treated.

At Craigslea SS this looks and sounds like:

• We use courtesy words in a calm voice
• We consider how we would feel if that happened to us
• We think carefully about what we say before we say it
• We understand how our words and actions affect others
• We keep our body calm and our hands and feet to ourself
• We allow others to participate in activities and share resources
• We respect others space.

Active School Travel

Litter Walk – 9 November 2022

Join in on the Active School Travel fun on Wednesday 9/11 as we meet up at a one of two designated parks (Redbourne St and Craigslea St) and walk to school with the Active School Travel Team.

As a part of National Recycling Week we will be working with Brisbane City Council and their Litter Prevention team to conduct a litter walk on our way to school. We will meet at our 2 usual meeting spots in the park at 8:20am and leave by 8:30am to ensure we get to school on time. On our walk to school we will use equipment provided by the council and pick up litter as we wind our way through our local streets to school. This is a great way to help out our community and the environment.

In other Active School Travel news, our Active School Travel team and members of the P&C will be attending the Annual Lord Mayor's Active School Travel Awards on Thursday 10 November. This is a time to celebrate the wonderful work of the AST teams and communities and hear what other schools are doing to help children get active and reduce traffic congestion around schools.

Have a great fortnight!
