Being a kind and helpful friend means always trying to make others feel good and safe. It means sharing, caring, and helping, while a bully does the opposite by hurting others with words or actions.
Let's always choose to be kind and helpful!

A quiet moment to pause, breathe, and bring our hearts and minds into God’s presence, preparing ourselves to pray with focus, gratitude, and openness.
Let us take a moment to pause… to breathe… to be still.
As the deep, ancient sound of the didgeridoo surrounds us, we are reminded of the land we stand on, the First Peoples who have cared for it, and God’s presence that has always been here.
Breathe in God’s love… (pause) and breathe out any worries.
Breathe in God’s peace… (pause) and breathe out any distractions.
As we quiet our hearts, we open ourselves to God—who walks with us, speaks to us, and loves us completely.
Loving God, be with us now. Guide our hearts, our thoughts, and our words as we come together in prayer.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Scripture about Kindness
Scripture about Kindness
The Bible teaches us that love is very important. Jesus tells us to love one another, just as He loves us. This means being kind, patient, and caring to everyone—our friends, family, and even people we don’t know well. Love isn’t just about words; it’s about how we treat others every day.
As you read these verses, think about ways you can show love—maybe by sharing, helping, or using kind words. How can you make someone feel loved today?
Ephesians 4:32 – "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

Routine: Transitions between Classrooms/Learning Spaces
Description: What you expect from the students every time they are moving between classrooms or learning spaces.
When to use: Whenever your class is moving to another location within or near the school.
What’s the point? This routine enables students to move quietly and calmly and efficiently between classrooms/learning spaces without disrupting other classes.
Sequence:
Teacher: Explain to the students that we have a particular way you expect them to transition to other classrooms or places. To help students learn the routine, use the sequence below to guide your instruction.
Explain the complete sequence of the Transitioning between Classrooms/Learning Spaces routine:
i. Our class is moving to…(explain the destination of the class)
ii. We will line up… (narrate where you want the class to line-up)
iii. On my signal we will move to our destination.
You will: - stay in your lines while walking
- keep up with the person in front of you
- move quietly
iv. I will stop at certain points to make sure our class is staying together.
v. On arrival at our destination we will wait quietly in our lines for further directions.
2. Let students practise the complete routine, one element at a time.
3. If students talk or do not follow an instruction, repeat the element of the routine that was not done correctly.
Key Considerations:
Þ Before your class moves, think about the best route to take that will minimise disruption to other classes.
Þ Think about where is the best place for you to position yourself as the class moves through the school.
Þ Acknowledge students who are meeting or exceeding the behaviour expectations.
