Key Competencies - Term 3

This term, our key competency work will focus on quotes and short videos.  Each week, we'll discuss/analyse/interpret/debate the meaning of one quote or video and reflect on what it means for us.

Today we started with this quote:

After some discussion, we agreed that the quote basically means that you should be proud of who you are.  Together, we came up with a list of suggestions that will help us to be proud of who we are:

• don't try to be like other people (unless you are learning from a role model or leader)
• speak and think positively (Miss Simpson says this is probably the most important thing)
• try to be confident in all situations (don't freak out over the small things)
• do good deeds for others
• be proud of your achievements
• don't worry too much about what others think or say about you
• think for yourself and have your own opinions and ideas
