From artwork and wellbeing discussions & plans to our gardening and sustainability initiatives. There was a lot of love, support and care on show.

In a week when the Dept/NCSE yet again failed to provide assurances, our children felt the support and love of the whole school community who came together for their wellbeing, dignity and care.
The many discussions in homes this week about the role of the ANA in our children’s lives highlighted the love of the ANAs for the children in our schools. From cleaning up puke to helping them when they are worried, our ANAs consistently help our children to feel loved and supported.
As a result of our community efforts, our amazing Additional Needs Assistants also felt big love this week. They would like the school community, both children and adults, to know how much they appreciate the wonderful acknowledgment of their love, care and work.

More love was shown in the community when teachers and parents came together at Parent Teacher Meetings to discuss the progress of each child and how best we can work together to further support them on their journey through DSP. Yay for communicating the DSP way! With compassion and empathy holding our children at the heart of discussions.
