K Banks is trialing the next aspect of their classroom’s Mindfulness Program.
Mindfulness is an awareness. It is the art of noticing thoughts, feelings and sensations. Practising mindfulness allows the students to experience calm and peacefulness. K Banks have adopted this approach when engaged in specific ‘quiet’ lessons.
After recess the students in K Banks take five minutes to participate in breathing exercises which allows them to calm their mind and body after they have engaged in outside play. Then they listen to quiet music playing in the background when completing tasks at their tables. The focus is upon the music and their breathing and, in doing so, the children are calm, relaxed and aware of their own body in their classroom environment.

Milo T20 Blast Cricket On Wednesday the 2nd November Mr Crane, Mr Lucas and Mrs Walsh took students from Stage 2 and 3 down to the Bull
Paddock for the Tumut Cup T20 Blast Competition. The day consisted of a round robin competition where students from
Franklin played against each other and students from McAuley. The day was run by NSW Cricket and the students received
Milo and cricketing tips during the day. Both schools showed great sportsmanship and thoroughly enjoyed the day.
