The new Umbrella Project Theme for the month of December is Cognitive Flexibility. Cognitive Flexibility is the ability to: change our strategies when we face new and unexpected conditions in the environment; solve problems in new situations; make sense of the unexpected; switch tasks easily; shift and change our thoughts as needed in a situation; and being able to think flexibly. This is a very important skill to master in order to be innovative. Cognitive Thinking is further explained in the video attached in the link below. Watch for further tips all month in future Dragon Updates.
St Dominic will once again be holding The Christmas Food, NEW TOY and NEW Winter Accessory Tree as our Social Justice Peace Tree Team Initiative for December. This campaign will run from November 28th to December 18th.
What a spectacular performance! Our Early Years and Primary Divisions entertained the masses on Thursday with their Primary Christmas Concert. All students put on outstanding performances and should be proud of their hard work in learning their songs and dances. Thanks goes out to Mrs. Campbell for her hard work in planning this great morning of music and dance, and to the Planning Time teachers for their hard work in preparing our students. Way to go Dragons!
What a night! The Family Christmas Night was an awesome success! Live music, crafts, baked goods, hot chocolate and the big man himself. Could not have asked for a better night. Thanks goes out to School Council for their hard work in putting on this great event! What a great way to kick off this festive season.
