A bunch of flowers, a hot coffee, a box of chocolates, a note of encouragement was just some of the ways staff have showed kindness to one another this year. Throughout 2021 BalCC staff took part in a kindness buddy program, that has seen them giving and receiving small gifts or acts of kindness.  The program was optional and undertaken by staff in their own time and at their own expense. 

It was wonderful to receive updates from staff on the many ways they were shown kindness by their fellow staff. Here are a few photos of some of the acts of kindness.

Thank you to Upper Primary teacher, Beth Simonis for organising and coordinating the program throughout 2021.

“In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ” Acts 20:35 NIV
