Atitude of Gratitude

It is hard to believe that we are already into the final term of yet another year. It seems that each school year passes us by faster and faster. It is easy for us to be caught up in the busyness of everyday life. When we are busy and tired, it is also common for us to lose sight of the many positive things in our lives. Term 4 is a busy but exciting term for all at the College. There are many significant events that occur – exams, Year 12 graduation, Year 9 students graduate into the Senior College, Middle College Orientation Day and basketball finals!

At the Senior College assembly this week, the College Captains encouraged students to have ‘an attitude of gratitude’. When we get into the mindset of complaining or feeling down about ourselves, it is valuable to take a reflective step back and focus on the blessings that we have. Being grateful for the positive things in our life can have great benefits to our perception of our current circumstances and can also help to boost others around us.

So, throughout this final term of the year, I wish all Senior College students the very best for their studies. We celebrate your successes so far and pray that we can all be thankful throughout the term.
