THE BUTTER
On Wednesday the 22 nd of June, Year 9 took part in
an all day Pastoral Program.
The female students attended The Butterfly Effect -
Enlightened Education Program.
The program was a huge success for the students!
Issues such as self esteem, asserting yourself,
respectful relationships, stress and how to deal with
it, affirmations and having a healthy body/mind, were
on the agenda for the day. I’d like to thank Year 9
for representing our College in a fantastic way and
getting involved in all of the activities.
Here are testimonials from two Year 9 girls:
“We had a great day getting to know Chloe –
she was lovely. My favourite part was the friends
affirmation session. I don’t think we tell our friends
how much they mean to us yet the value in doing
this is important for all of us. I learnt that we can
be self-destructive and how much there is we can
do to build ourselves and those around us up. The
media is playing a big part in this problem... we
are all beautiful. This is a message that EVERY
GIRL needs to hear! Thanks so much.”
“Before the workshop, my friends and I were
groaning about having to go and not looking
forward to what we thought would be a boring
day. However the sessions defied all of our
expectations! Everyone was talking about how
much they enjoyed the workshop and were
reciting the funny yet inspiring quotes like ‘I am
an Amazon’ and ‘Stop! I don’t like it!’. It was truly
an inspirational, hilarious and extremely fun
workshop.”
I look forward to seeing how the students use the
skills they have learnt on this day in the future.
