  • Principal's Message
    Principal’s Message By Mrs Kath Boyd “Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.” (Lucius Annaeus Seneca) Kindness makes people feel good and do good, and at Reddam ELS Lindfield, kindness is something that is fostered by families, practised by the children and actively promoted by the teachers. Kindness is the quality of being gentle, caring and helpful. Teachers in all four Stages present activities and opportunities designed to build the attributes of empathy, gratitude, perspective, honesty, self-compassion, self-acceptance, humility, collaboration, mindfulness, meditation, trust, affiliation and humour. Kindness can spring from the smallest of actions, such as giving someone a flower or drawing them a picture, and whatever form it takes, these thoughtful moments have sizable benefits for everyone. Being kind can increase feelings of happiness and self-esteem, and it’s been linked with better emotional self-regulation. ‘Kindness can have a positive effect on peer acceptance, and it’s also been described as an ‘antidote’ to bullying because it encourages children to learn how to get along and empathise with one another.’ (www.careforkids.com.au) In addition, one of the best things about kindness, is that it’s contagious! People feel good when they see others being kind, and this sense of ‘moral elevation’ makes people want to be kind themselves. “Once kindness is felt, its power is understood, and it is more likely to be reproduced.” (Kath Koschel) On a daily basis, the Reddam Teachers promote kindness amongst children at school by helping children understand and navigate the social world.

  • Black Friday and Christmas Preview 2017 a Report Looking at What We Can Expect from Black Friday and the Online Retail Christmas Trading Peak in 2017
    Black Friday and Christmas Preview 2017 A report looking at what we can expect from Black Friday and the online retail Christmas trading peak in 2017 A report researched & compiled by IMRG, supported by INTRODUCTION – A SETTLED PEAK PERIOD? When we talk about Christmas peak in retail, these days we tend to mean Black Friday. Or at least the Black Friday period, to be more accurate. There are other peaks of course, but that’s become the one that really matters for many. It’s been fascinating to watch this event evolve over the past few years. The scale of it is so huge that it appears to be a bit uncontrollable. Its character changes, the period it covers extends (might it contract again?), tactics and strategies adapt to suit this new format of peak trading. And therein lies part of the problem. It’s such an important time of year for sweeping up a share of the huge (albeit, often discounted) spend that goes through the virtual tills that the approach retailers take does seem to have become a bit safe; a bit uniform. We’ve had 3 years of this new format peak trading now and the first year (2014) was a bit traumatic. Retailers don’t want to (indeed, can’t afford to) miss out on having a successful peak, so they do what seems to work. Andy Mulcahy But – and it’s a big but – this thing doesn’t ever seem to settle into Editor, IMRG a reliably predictable pattern. It’s shown a remarkable capacity for evolving in size and scale each year and the opportunity for innovation is absolutely ripe for those who find clever ways to stand out against their competition.

  • Holidays and Observances, 2020
    Holidays and Observances, 2020 For Use By New Jersey Libraries Made by Allison Massey and Jeff Cupo Table of Contents A Note on the Compilation…………………………………………………………………….2 Calendar, Chronological……………….…………………………………………………..…..6 Calendar, By Group…………………………………………………………………………...17 Ancestries……………………………………………………....……………………..17 Religion……………………………………………………………………………….19 Socio-economic……………………………………………………………………….21 Library……………………………………...…………………………………….…...22 Sources………………………………………………………………………………....……..24 1 A Note on the Compilation This listing of holidays and observances is intended to represent New Jersey’s diverse population, yet not have so much information that it’s unwieldy. It needed to be inclusive, yet practical. As such, determinations needed to be made on whose holidays and observances were put on the calendar, and whose were not. With regards to people’s ancestry, groups that made up 0.85% of the New Jersey population (approximately 75,000 people) and higher, according to Census data, were chosen. Ultimately, the cut-off needed to be made somewhere, and while a round 1.0% seemed a good fit at first, there were too many ancestries with slightly less than that. 0.85% was significantly higher than any of the next population percentages, and so it made a satisfactory threshold. There are 20 ancestries with populations above 75,000, and in total they make up 58.6% of the New Jersey population. In terms of New Jersey’s religious landscape, the population is 67% Christian, 18% Unaffiliated (“Nones”), and 12% Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu. These six religious affiliations, which add up to 97% of the NJ population, were chosen for the calendar. 2% of the state is made up of other religions and faiths, but good data on those is lacking.

  • “It's Looking Like Christmas” Mark 1:1-8 December 6, 2020
    “It’s Looking Like Christmas” Mark 1:1-8 December 6, 2020 “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.” Thanksgiving is done and the leftovers have probably all been eaten. Black Friday deals are over. Cyber Monday is done, and Giving Tuesday is past. As we go about our lives, we see that the Christmas decorations are going up, lights are being hung, and people are busy shopping in person or online trying to find the perfect gifts for family and friends. So, how are your preparations going this year? We all know that Christmas can be a busy time of the year with all of the things we need to do, and God definitely understands that quite well. He knows what it is like to prepare for Christmas as He had to prepare the world for His Son’s arrival. In our Old Testament lesson from Isaiah, we see some of those preparations. In Isaiah’s day, about 700 years before Jesus was born, God was already planning the return of His chosen people from Babylon to the land of Israel through the Babylonian King named Cyrus. He was already orchestrating the events to get him into power, and to set into motion the events that would get His people back home. He even had Isaiah write that He would send a messenger who would prepare the way for His Son. Later on, God had the Romans come into power, and they were the ones who practiced crucifixion and put people like Herod and Pontus Pilate into positions of power.
