Co Operation
What is Co Operation?
Cooperation is working together for the good of
everyone. It is a willingness to respect others and to
follow rules which keep everyone safe and happy.
Cooperation is being helpful to one another, sharing
the load. It is joining others in order to do something
that cannot be done alone.
COMMUNITY NEWS
AUSSIE HOOPS
To register online for aussie hoops
Aussiehoops.com.au
$85 registration cost includes:
Aussie hoops back pack, ball, reversible singlet etc
Registration fee, court costs, participation medal.
Why Practice It?
Without cooperation, people disturb others. They
don’t care about the rules, and they don’t seem to care
about others. When we work together, we can often
accomplish more than each of us could do alone.
When we cooperate, we can do great things.
How Do You Practice It?
Being cooperative is being willing to go along in order
to get along. We are respectful of the rules. We
consider other people’s needs. We look for ways to be
helpful, and we ask for help when we need it.
Cooperation helps us bring together the ideas of many
so that a new idea can come to light. Working
together, we can make any place a safe and happy one.
Affirmation
I am cooperative. I work and play well with others.
I respect the rules. I keep myself and others safe.
