Our grade 12 boys climbed to the top of Mt Olympus (in house points) to gaze out at their reward — a night of pizza galore. In non-covid times they would go somewhere outdoors, but the outdoors are currently cancelled. So they have earned themselves a whole slice of pizza wellbeing. Togther we watched the video that Jody kindly made for us on Non Violent Communication (NVC) and debated its content afterwards. It is beneficial to discuss our wellbeing with a full stomach 👍
Akihiro, Daniel, Vova, Marnix and Francisco enjoy their slice of wellbeing.
Francisco catches a glimpse of the camera: we’ve been spotted !
We watched the video Jody kindly put together about how to address each other in moments of stress and anger. Mr Rodrigo enjoys a slice of free pizza in the background.
