From Parenting Ideas
Once you get familiar with the language of strengths and a framework for seeing them, you’ll see character strengths easily in your child. In fact, you may find your child calls on their character strengths more often than on talent to meet life’s challenges.
Three elements come together to form a strength. For purposes of strength-based parenting, we need to keep our eye on all three: 1. Performance (being good at something). Watch for when your child shows above-age levels of achievement, rapid learning, and a repeated pattern of success. 2. Energy (feeling good doing it) Strengths are self-reinforcing. The more we use them, the more we get from them. They fill us with vigour. You’ll notice your child has abundant energy when using a strength. 3. High use (choosing to do it) Finally, look for what your child chooses to do in their spare time, how often they engage in a particular activity, and how they speak about that activity.
For true strengths, these three elements form a beautiful feedback loop: great performance provides the child with a shot of high energy, so the child naturally chooses to do more. In turn, high use – also known as effort or practice – improves performance levels. So, for example, if you notice that your child is energised when they play the piano, and you provide enjoyable opportunities for them to play, if they’re mining a true strength they will likely practise more, which improves their performance, which then energises them … and so the loop continues.
Keeping this triad in mind will help you avoid pushing your child into an area that seems like a strength just because your child is good at it. It will also help you differentiate between whether your child is bingeing on an activity in an escapist way or expressing a true strength.
For example, when a parent asks me, ‘My son is great at computer games and wants to play all the time. Is that a sign of a strength?’ I reply, ‘Observe his energy levels at the end. Is he drained and cranky? Or energised and full of life? Are you seeing the full triad?’ Computer games can tap into a child’s strategic and problem-solving skills or stimulate creativity (in some games, you invent whole new worlds). Or they might just be about filling time.
So look for all three signs. When you see your child do something well, with energy, and repeatedly, you’ll know you’ve unearthed a strength. Professor Lea Waters (PhD) best-selling author of The Strength Switch
I hope you enjoyed this article. I certainly found it good reading and good advice. We aim to give boys as many chances to try new things as we can at School and in the hopes we broaden their minds to new ideas and ways of doing, thinking and being the best they can. As parents and educators it is our aim to ‘grow’ happy and confident children who learn to be confident in their own choices and beliefs. Kind regards John Dicks Principal

Book News A huge thanks to Nicole Nunn (Noah Year 1) who has covered 2 sets of new class novels at a standard so high they don’t even look covered - not a bubble! This is a thankless take that Nicole does beautifully and we are very grateful. We am looking for other volunteers to assist with book covering as we have quite a lot of books to cover very the next few weeks.

Touch Football Senior A
Last weekend Aston Leslight and his State Oztag team -
EASTS U12’s (CPS old boys Max Roach & Hamish Witten
were also part of the team).
Easts U12’s played division 1 of the OzTag State Cup in
Coffs Harbour over the weekend. After playing some of
the State’s toughest teams, Easts fell short to make it to
the finals day. Easts were humble in defeat and gracious
with their wins.

Stage 2: Overhead wires energised from 8 FebruaryStage 3: Tram testing from 18 February
The CBD and South East Light Rail is heading towards the nextphase as we energise the wire and extend tram testing.
This marks another milestone for the project. It is important that everyone remainssafe during this testing period and are aware of new safe work zones (hazardzones). We will test all functions including vehicle movements, electrical systemsand traffic integration in a safe environment prior to the operation of passengerservices.Remember to look up and stay safe!
Night time testingTram testing will initially start at night between 9pm and 4am. Trams will beoperating at low speeds, gradually increasing as we head towards day timetesting.
Day time testingAs tram testing moves into day time, tram movements will become morefrequent with more trams tested. Look up and stay safe! Please be mindfulof your environment and always keep a safe distance from the trams.
