We can be the difference!

REACH - What you do counts!

Take some time to reflect.....


What you do counts.......
  • Are you a good friend who is kind and says nice things?
  • Do you do 'things' for others - just because,  not because you know you will get something in return?
  • Do you use your manners and say "Please" and "Thank you"?
  • Do you respect and appreciate the adults in your community?

The start of term is always a great time to set new goals and achieve great things.... be the person you want to be!

The importance of honesty

Honesty
 
Take some time to reflect....
 
Why is it important to be honest?
When you are not honest how do you feel?
How do you feel when someone exaggerates?
What would it feel like to always tell the truth and keep our word?
 
 
 

Honesty!

Mr Stanley sure knows what honesty is about!

Excellence....what is it? ....what does it mean?

What is Excellence?
Can just anyone achieve it?
 I've found some statements that made me think....when do I show excellence?
When did you last show excellence? Are any of these statements true?

EXCELLENCE is seldom an accident.

EXCELLENCE is regularly achieved as a result of an unrelenting insistence of the highest standards.

EXCELLENCE demands self discovery, commitment and discipline.

EXCELLENCE inspires - it electrifies!

EXCELLENCE is a commitment to completion.

EXCELLENCE is a state of mind put into action.

EXCELLENCE brings satifaction and self respect.


Excellence and Commitment

Are you commited to excellence?

To excel in anything - in schoolwork, in sport, in music, in relationships with others - you must have commitment.

Study the picture below. When is the diver commited?
When she has left the diving board - when there is NO TURNING BACK. Commitment alone doesn't guarantee success but lack of commitment guarantees that you will stay in your Comfort Zone, that you will fall short of your potential, and that you will not achieve excellence and high standards.
So show commitment now, set your goals and take the steps to achieve them....it could lead to EXCELLENCE!
