HANDS
Look at your hands.
Did you use them to hurt or to heal?
To push someone down or to lift someone up?
To make a fist or to hold a hand?
To write words of hate or to spread words of love?
To make an obscene gesture or a gesture of peace?
Do you use your hands to spread contempt or compassion?
To build or to destroy?
Do you use your hands to bruise or to soothe?
Bruises and wounds will heal but words can stay forever.
Every hand leaves an imprint in the lives of others.
What type of imprint did you make today?

Catholic School has a Safe
School Plan.
This plan has been developed to identify
effective practices that provide a safe and inclusive environment at
our school as well as areas for improvement. This plan describes our
on-going effort to address issues of bullying/harassment behaviour
at our school. It is a living document which can be adjusted to best
suit the needs of our school community.
To view the plan click here or on the
Safe School Plan button on the left.
