This week's PBL lesson is focusing on Respectful Responses. Respect is one of Calliope State Schools three whole school expectations. Treating other people with respect means that you interact with them, in a way that shows that you care about their wellbeing. When we speak respectfully to others and our messages are much more likely to get the outcome and respectful response returned. Speaking respectfully involves looking at the person you are talking to or who is talking to you, using manners, speaking in a calm voice and respecting their opinion. 

Gratitude is about paying attention to the things in life that we have right now and not worrying about what we don't have. Empathy is the ability to understand what other people are feeling and to see things from their point of view. Mindfulness is about being present in the moment and not worrying about what happened before or what might happen in the future. Our GEM warriors are challenging students and parents to talk about something that has made them happy this week. What has made you happy this week?
