Accept Being Told No

In Weeks 1 & 2, the students at St Paul’s have been learning, sometimes I will be told no by others and I need to accept this. Being told no is not being mean.  Students in all grades have been discussing various scenarios, where we may be told no and we need to stop, think and choose, so we can accept being told no respectfully.  

We encourage parents and caregivers to work alongside us with teaching to accept no respectfully.  Let them know that it is normal that sometimes we will be told no, even though we may not like being told no, we still need to respond appropriately and politely.
