Hurry is the Enemy of Love.
Sometimes, in the mad rush to get out the door, patience and kindness slip through my fingers. My own anxieties about being late can turn into frustration, spilling over onto my kids in ways I never intended.
It’s wild how often the smallest moments leave me feeling completely overwhelmed.
Parenting is a relentless lesson in slowing down, in choosing connection over urgency. And honestly? I get it wrong pretty much every day. But I’m still here, showing up, battling through, learning to navigate my own emotions—so I can help my children understand theirs. Because if love is the goal, then slowing down is the way.
Here is the third video in the series.
Hi everyone,
Great news!
We have managed to secure a school trip for our Middle School - Spaces 3/3a, 4/4a, and 5/5a.
We are off to the Corban Estate Arts Centre in Henderson. In this workshop students explore self-portraiture through the lens of fantasy and imagination, transforming themselves into magical creatures. Exploring concepts of identity, students will use vibrant caran d’ache pastels, learning foundational techniques for drawing faces while adding imaginative features like feathers, scales, and claws.
Inspired by surrealist artists, students will create textural effects and surface details that bring their unique creatures to life, combining skill-building with personal expression.
Sounds exciting!
It is late notice but we are heading off on our school trip next week!
Spaces 3/3a - Wednesday 19th February
Spaces 4/4a - Thursday 20th February
Spaces 5/5a - Friday 21st February
Please make sure your children come to school in full school uniform, closed in shoes, morning tea and lunch and a water bottle.
At this stage, we do not need any parent help, but we will let you know if we do!
Have a lovely weekend!
“How to Turn Your Kids Bad Day into a Good Day”.
Sometimes our kids get stuck in a funk, and no matter how hard we try, they seem determined to have a bad day! But here’s a simple way to help turn things around.
If we can teach our children from a young age that, no matter what happens, they always have the power to choose their response, we’re setting them up for lifelong resilience and stronger mental health.
Learning that we are responsible for how we navigate life is one of the most valuable lessons we can give them.
Viktor E. Frankl captured this idea beautifully in Man’s Search for Meaning:" Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way."
Helping our kids understand this now will empower them to face life’s challenges with strength, grace, and confidence.
