25.01.2022 DALE Devotion Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ never changes! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. ... Throughout our lives we can experience great change and loss. In really difficult times, it can be hard to feel like you can rely on anything being constant and consistent. This verse promises us that Jesus is though. Who He is and His character is the same everyday. Everyday we can rely on His kindness, love, forgiveness and patience. See more

24.01.2022 DALE Devotion 2 Corinthians 1:4 He (God) comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. ... There are many passages in the bible that promise that will God bring comfort in troubled times. One of the blessings of personally experiencing comfort from God, is that we can then help others in troubled times. Is there someone in your world today you can bring support and comfort to?

19.01.2022 Wellbeing Tip Everyone wants to feel powerful. Our children are not exempt from these feelings, so the more we can do to give them appropriate ways to feel powerful, the less power STRUGGLES we will have with them. By offering choice, giving responsibility, focusing on strengths, and encouraging opinion we can all help kids meet their own power needs. . .... . #DALECommunity #HOPE #SPCCDALE #CPS #DALEWAY #DALEDAY #HOPE #PURPOSE #FUTURE #EDUCATION #DYNAMIC #ALTERNATIVE #LEARNING #ENVIRONMENT #WeeklyWin #DGN #WELLBEING #GRADUATEPROFILE See more

18.01.2022 Positive Self-Talk Self-talk is the internal narrative you hold about yourself. It’s your inner voice and you may or may not have spent much time thinking about it or giving it any attention. The truth is, our self-talk can actually have a much bigger influence on the way we see ourselves, and the world around us than we realise. Positive self-talk is something we could all do more of. By modelling positive self-talk we can teach our children to see things differently, bu...ild resilience, combat negative thinking patterns, and have a growth mind-set. . . . #DALECommunity #HOPE #SPCCDALE #CPS #DALEWAY #DALEDAY #HOPE #PURPOSE #FUTURE #EDUCATION #DYNAMIC #ALTERNATIVE #LEARNING #ENVIRONMENT #WeeklyWin #DGN #WELLBEING #GRADUATEPROFILE See more

16.01.2022 DALE Devotion Psalm 55:22 Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; ... he will never let the righteous be shaken. God desires to support us through things, but He cant help unless we share those things with him. Sustain means to strengthen, support, to hold the weight of. When we share our worries and troubles with God, imagine two big, strong arms holding up these things, and the heaviness we once felt in carrying them be taken off our shoulders.

14.01.2022 Cessnocks Weekly Win!! This week is a little different to our usual spotlight on a student. This week, we would like to celebrate one of our Teachers. Miss Smith, who has been studying, just like our students, to reach her dream of becoming a Teacher; and SHE DID IT!!! However, she cannot attend her University Graduation to receive her Bachelor of Education due to COVID-19, so we thought it would be honouring to CONGRATULATE and celebrate how AMAZING we think she is and e...nsure she knows, that we are so blessed to have her as our Stage 2 teacher. Congratulations Miss Smith, you are incredible, we hope this makes your week!! . . . #DALECommunity #HOPE #SPCCDALE #CPS #DALEWAY #DALEDAY #HOPEPURPOSEFUTURE #EDUCATION #DYNAMIC #ALTERNATIVE #LEARNING #ENVIRONMENT #WeeklyWin #DGN

09.01.2022 DALE Devotion Psalm 103:2 With all my heart I praise the Lord! ... I will never forget how kind he has been. Its easy on tough days or through challenging times, to forget the good and kind things God has done for us. Taking time to remember these things in hard times, can help us get through, and lift our heads to Heaven and the goodness of God.

07.01.2022 De-escalation techniques go against our natural fight-or-flight reflexes. Remaining calm and detached is difficult and therefore it is a skill that needs to be practised. Reasoning with an angry or upset child is not possible but this is often our immediate response. Our aim instead should be to reduce the level of agitation so discussion then becomes an option and a better outcome is achieved. Below are a few de-escalation strategies to try. . .... . #DALECommunity #HOPE #SPCCDALE #CPS #DALEWAY #DALEDAY #HOPEPURPOSEFUTURE #EDUCATION #DYNAMIC #ALTERNATIVE #LEARNING #ENVIRONMENT #WeeklyWin #DGN See more

05.01.2022 DALE Devotion Micah 6:8 ...And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy ... and to walk humbly with your God. This verse suggests a beautiful attitude and way to live our lives. While as hard as we may try to live a perfect, faultless life, we do make mistakes, and wont always get it right, but we can keep this verse in our minds, to encourage us how to try and live. How beautiful would our world and community be if we all acted justly, showed mercy to others and were humble as we did this.
