Landsborough students shine

Kindness blooms in the community

On Valentine’s Day last Friday a group of Landsborough State School students presented red roses, with affirmation notes attached, to community members to practise and encourage kindness, and hope and peace towards others.

The recipients of the roses, most of them strangers, were delighted by the kind gesture.

The Kindness Club was launched at Landsborough State School last year by school chaplain Linda Whysall as a way to encourage students to value others, show kindness and to appreciate those in our community.

The club has participated in a number of kindness projects. Now, with support from Sunshine Coast Council, Chappy Linda and the students will undertake five activities in the local Landsborough community to spread kindness in a number of ways.

The first was handing out the roses, or kindness blooms, on Valentine’s Day.

Other planned activities include kindness art, kindness rocks, kindness coffees and kindness bears.

Students look forward to sprinkling more kindness throughout the community over the next few months.

"Let's show kindness together, you never know the impact it can make," Chappy Linda said.
