POWER OF GRATITUDE

- ISABEL CROKER

HOW often do we say thank you and express our gratitude for the positive things in our lives which we have not asked for or actively worked towards?

Expressing gratitude is one of the best ways to increase your happiness and that of those around you, whether it is through a simple thank you, an act of kindness or even writing a gratitude letter to someone who has positively affected your life.

The Student Representa­tive Council at Coomera Anglican College took the concept of expressing gratitude and made it our mission to spread happiness through gratitude around our college campus.

We have kickstarte­d our project with “30 Days of Gratitude’’, which involves students, teachers and parents posting images of things they are grateful for on CAC’s social media platforms. Nature, pets, family, friends and our college community have featured strongly. The response has been overwhelmi­ng.

There is nothing better to brighten up your newsfeed than an image of an adorable animal or a smiling group of students.

On our final day of “30 Days of Gratitude’’, CAC will launch the much-anticipate­d Gratitude Day.

Students will be involved in activities focused on expressing gratitude, specifical­ly writing gratitude letters.
