Braemar has students who say yes...

A healthy and positive attitude to have in life is “leave it a little better than you found it.” Our actions have a real effect on the people we interact with, our communities and the value we give to society. We have only one reputation in this world, and when it gets damaged, it takes an extraordinary amount of effort to repair it. A better place could be a word of encouragement or inspiration; a challenge to think differently; a newly found confidence that something can be accomplished; an understanding that was not there before or a deeper awareness of oneself.

Term 1 has come to a rapid close and we finished it off with some wonderful performances across the College. I read a quote today from Wayne Gretzky - “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” This reminded me of students who are competing in school and community sport and the excitement and energy amongst them. It is infectious as they try their hardest, take every opportunity and are excited by both the competition and competing with friends.

I also wish all the students competing in age group, state or national competitions over the break all the best.
