Welcome everyone to Term 3, and to some cold weather and some beautiful sunny days.  I do sincerely hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed whatever they were doing in spite of the current situation our world is in.

What a lovely lot of students we have here at Renmark High.  It is such a privilege to be  part of this wonderful school and to be involved in student wellbeing and learning.  I was thinking about Gratitude and was looking at things I should be grateful for.   When I think about it, there is so much and so many things to be grateful for including the family I have, the people I know and the life experiences that I have. Not to mention living in the Riverland and all that it has to offer.   I was reading about having a Gratitude Jar (which really helps in creating a positive mindset on days when things are just plain yukky!) to collect positive notes to yourself or to others.

Being grateful is a really important skill for us to practise.   It helps us focus on the good aspects in our lives rather than the hard or messy stuff.  We can do this by filling up a gratitude jar.  You can write a note anytime and pop it in the jar and revisit it whenever you are feeling “blue” or just not great.   I think I am going to do just that! So again, welcome back everyone and know that I am here to support you all in any way I can. Have a beautiful week and smile and make someone’s day.

Cheers, Pammy
