Ruby Berkovic and Jennifer Opit

Hello Everyone,

We hope you are well and have had a good week.

Father’s Day

On Friday 27 August 2021 we were meant to be celebrating Father’s Day on campus, together with our usual Cocoa Pops and coffee cart. As that isn’t possible, we have come up with a way to still celebrate “together.” An email will be sent out soon with the details.

Mindfulness for Tough Times 

You can still register and sign up for the last two Mini-Mindfulness Sessions on Zoom (at no cost) brought to you by Emanuel parent Jodie Gien, from Mindful Future Project.

The sessions started in week one of this term and have been running on Wednesday mornings from 8.30 am – 8.50 am (running from week 1 – week 8). If you have registered for a session, you will be able to access it for one week afterwards (if you cannot log on for the live Zoom). You can connect via laptop or mobile from anywhere and you can join anytime.

To register: express interest by emailing Ruby Berkovic and you will be sent the Zoom links in advance.

The remaining session topics

Week 7: Self-Compassion and Empathy in Difficult Times
Week 8: Happiness and Gratitude in a Pandemic

We would like to thank Jodie for providing our community with this fantastic opportunity.

Weekend Brain Teaser (from last week) and answer

Question: What can you hold without ever touching or using your hands?
Answer: Your breath

Or, as Mr Watt cleverly suggested, a meeting.

We hope you have a nice weekend,

Jen and Ruby
