It’s easy to become distracted, even lose our
way sometimes with the many competing
interests that we are surrounded by.
Education is no different, and at times we all
need to be reminded. For several weeks I have
had a number, 3458, on a scrap of paper on
my computer which has been lost and then
found again many times over. It is this number
that has brought me back to what is important
for us here at HPS, Learning Power habits and
the belief that we can learn anything, be
anything if we are determined and put in the
effort.
What’s 3458 go to do with it I hear you ask?
That is how many Gotchas (Gotcha being
powerful tickets) we have accumulated so far
by our brave, intrepid learners. As a staff we
made the collective decision at the beginning
of the term to ‘ramp it up’ expecting more of
the kids if they were to be acknowledged for
their learning power. We did this because of
our commitment to challenge our students
wherever the opportunity exists. And you know
what? - they rose to the challenge.
So, it is time to celebrate (before they reach
4000!) our collective achievement and the
best way to do this is the Heathfield way of
being active as a school. We will be having
extended lunch until the end of the day on
Friday ,where the sports equipment will come
out, the chasey will kick off and the cubbies
will spring up.
I wanted to include some photos this week of
our determined kids learning about
badminton, our term focus sport. For any of
you that have played; it requires great hand
eye coordination and communication leading
to lots of funny moments. As you will see from
the photos the kids took the advice; ‘Keep
your eye on the shuttle (in this case balloon)’,
quite literally. Amazingly all the racquets made
it through largely unscathed!
