Updating Bullying Action Plan
This term our staff have been working with our PBL coaches to update our definition of bullying, our lessons for students and our response plan. The factsheet below is a great reference for parents to understand current school processes.
Our PBL focus area for this fortnight
Preschool Murals
The wonderful Bek Lane has completed our preshcool murals. The black circles provide space for students to draw with chalk. Bek has provided us with the story behind each of the elements in the mural. The chalk paint circles throughout both sides of the mural are a really important interactive component of this mural, where students can come and add their story, be creative, and leave their mark in the space too.
The brown circles represent the earth/Country/soil that we walk upon, and remember to tread carefully.
Eucalyptus leaves are painted throughout this side to represent the many Eucalyptus trees in the region.
The brown circles with x's in the centre are the Eucalyptus seed pods.
The blue circles represent the skies.
The 7 large U shapes either side of the circle represent the 7 classes but also link to a Native American concept of living sustainably with 7 generations into the future in mind.
The Brindabellas are represented in the mountains along the bottom.
The pink and purple circles represent the families and communities, living side by side and coming together at the school.
The pinks around the other circle are my favourite colours of the sky.
The three birds are the pre school classes: guginya-kookaburra, karrugan-magpie and bunduluk-rosella.
Also featured are some Eucalyptus flowers in the top right corner, and banksia pods to represent local plants and connect to place.
This side features koala-gula, kangaroo rat-balbo, possum- dyindan and bandicoot- mundawari. These animals are all active at night, with the stars being represented by the white circles of various sizes.
Again the brown circles represent the land/earth/Country, and the blue representing skies.
More mountains are representative of the local terrain. The yellow U shapes represent the students but also creates a sun, the giver of life.
The purples and pink shapes represent the time of the evening when the sky becomes layers of these colours, and more references to families and community. With trees being home to the animals all the classes are named after, it was important to have one in the mural.
