Nelnah Bessie John School Newsletter

24/01/2025

January has been a wonderful month at Nelnah Bessie John School, filled with exciting activities and meaningful learning. Each morning, we’ve been starting the day with a 30-minute brisk walk. This routine has been a fantastic way to set a positive tone for the day. Not only does it boost the students’ physical health, but it also helps improve focus, enhances energy levels, and fosters a sense of community among staff and students. It’s a great way to begin the day connected to the land and to one another.

After our morning walks, the students jump into a practical problem-solving activity that encourages teamwork while reinforcing literacy and numeracy skills. These challenges have been a big hit, as they provide opportunities for critical thinking and collaboration. Alongside these activities, students continue to work hard to develop their literacy and numeracy skills through a combination of group learning and individualized instruction. We’ve seen wonderful growth as they engage with both educators and their peers.

Looking ahead to February, we have some exciting events and important dates to share.Dyana, our child counsellor, will be visiting regularly to provide support for students, and during the week of February 17-21, she will partner with Kat to host a camp for students. Stay tuned for more details about this event! Thank you, as always, for your continued support of our school community. We look forward to another great month of learning, connection, and growth.
