Dreaming Big for the New Year!

Friday’s assembly was based around the wonderful book – Maybe, by Kobi Yamada. This is a story about the potential and possibilities in each and every one of us and was the perfect choice to start the new year with.

The children shared their dreams and goals for the short and long term and we focused on the little changes and efforts that would be needed to make these dreams become a reality.

With a nod to new year’s resolutions, the children were encouraged to use this time of year for a reset if necessary, or an opportunity to kickstart their determined efforts on making these dreams a reality.

I reminded the children of my favourite saying: ‘In life, the only two things you can control are your effort and your attitude. Everything else is not up to you.’

All the staff have been so impressed with how the children have been over these first few days back at school. There is a focus and determination amongst many that will go a long way to achieving these big dreams that many of them have!
