Education Week is in the third week of next term and once again the SCLC will present the Performing Arts Festival. This Festival culminates with 3 evening performances by all of the local public schools, sharing dance, music, song and drama on stage at the Bega Civic Centre. NAIDOC WEEK NAIDOC Week is recognised next week in schools. Our week is full of fun activities including hearing from some of our Indigenous Mums, Aunts and Nans. The theme: Because of her, we Can! is a wonderful stimulus for our students. POSITIVE BEHAVIOURS FOR LEARNING (PBL) Our school follows the student welfare pathway of PBL, supporting our students to develop the skills needed to be successful learners. The PBL program is based on our school values: RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, COOPERATION and FRIENDSHIP. The school holds a student assembly Monday mornings on a fortnightly basis where a focus area is discussed. This fortnight Mr Bennett talked to the students about safe play and keeping their hands and feet to themselves. Students are recognised in this assembly for outstanding behaviours from data collected by Teachers and a photo wall in the Hall indicates levels of individual achievement.
