The Year 8 Reflection Day will be centred around building on the ‘Kindness Challenge’ run by Catherine Kolomyjec, looking at how far we have come since last year. The purpose of The Kindness Challenge is to teach young people the physiological and psychological benefits of being kind. The students will be examining the values of compassion, forgiveness, humility and curiosity and its impact on self and others. The students will explore what is happening in their teenage brains and strategies for responding positively to each other, so students will gain new skills to grow, connect and thrive.
