2 Ice Skating Apologies for the students being unable to hit the ice last week. I did receive a phone call 2 days before saying an ice hockey tournament was on and we couldn t attend for week 1. With the students all ready to go and so excited I was very disappointed. Our only option was to attend and watch the ice hockey and use the time to get skates fitted. This was the best option as buses were already booked and it was too late to cancel. It was also a great experience for the students to get fitted, watch an ice hockey game and familiarise themselves with the venue.

3 CANTEEN ROSTER STOP, OPT, and GO This week students learnt a new concept, STOP, OPT, and GO. STOP, OPT, and GO was developed to give students an easy to remember phrase to aid them in slowing down before they act on an impulse. This concept helps students sort through solutions, reflecting on which solution will be most beneficial in regulating them and resolving the conflict.
