Everyone could benefit from a Cubbie!
This product helps people with sensory regulation, which is great for those with any neurodiversity needs, but also for anyone who suffers with stress and anxiety.
As a Sales Person I can definitely see how this product could benefit me, and as Mum with a neuro spicy child, I would love to have access to a Cubbie for him. It would definitely make school life more manageable.
To find out more about Cubbie and how you can have one in your workplace or education setting contact Matthew Salisbury#cubbie#neurodiversity#stressrelief#sensoryregulation#school #
Amit, a student at St. Macartan's College gives us his opinion of Cubbie.
Cubbie can calm down or alert students, depending on their sensory needs, as the programs are customised to every user.

Every community, needs great schools and great schools need active and involved community( stakeholders).
It's my great privilege to be serving as the vice president of a very active Old Boy's association. We invite all Old Muirites and friends to this weekends activities.
Below are some of my thoughts on Alumni involvement.
Educational institutions, regardless of their configuration, are one of the most important components of society. It forms part of the glue that holds any society together. In the modern world, the nation cannot thrive or have a future without working educational institutions. Ideally, schools train young people to be effective and well-rounded members of society.
At school, they should unearth their skills and talents, foster cultural norms such as respect, resilience, punctuality, and discipline and cultivate a sense of patriotism.
Many schools in South Africa cannot reach their full potential because they lack human, infrastructural and financial resources. Administrators, teachers, and government cannot fulfil the task by themselves. Yes, the government has failed in many respects to uphold the social contract of providing adequate educational facilities. However, even at their best, they would not be able to fulfil without external intervention. This is especially true for quantile 1, 2 and 3 schools.
We need everyone in society to help improve, maintain, and protect our schools and assist in forming well rounded young people. Parents, business, alumni, religious institutions, members of society we all have a duty to ensure the success of our schools. It is infuriating to read newspaper articles about vandalism at schools and lack of parental involvement. We cannot continue like this.
How do we get involved? The three Ts of philanthropy are a good place to start. They are 1.time, 2.talent and 3.treasure. Perhaps you have some time on your hands and you can assist with coaching a netball or rugby team. Maybe you can serve on the school governing body or be part of a patrolling team. You may have a special skill – You can help build classrooms or you can give extra mathematics lessons. You might have some money and your business can sponsor schools’ chess clubs or you can contribute to a bursary fund.
It goes without saying that schools which have collective involvement and support from various stakeholders will thrive. The country needs active citizens now more than ever. Citizens who are hopeful about the future and willing to contribute to its success albeit in a small manner.
I would like to challenge you to assist your local school. If you're a parent, get involved in co-educational activities. If you are an alumnus, reach out to your alma-mater and ask where you can assist. If you are a local business, support the school financially. I believe in a transformed nation, and I believe we, the people, have the power and ability to transform it- let’s start with our schools.

📸 Moments from Our "Transitioning to High School" Event at JM Intermediate School.
Earlier this week, we had the privilege of presenting to dozens of families at Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School for an engaging discussion on one of the most important transitions in a student's academic journey: the move from middle school to high school.
Our goal? To demystify the process, provide parents with actionable guidance, and equip students with the mindset, tools, and support to thrive.
Here are a few key takeaways from the event:
✅ High School is a Journey, Not a Race — Each year has a distinct purpose:
- 9th Grade: Exploration and discovery.
- 10th Grade: Focus and academic rigor.
- 11th Grade: Balance coursework, test prep, and college exploration.
- 12th Grade: Finish strong and navigate college applications.
✅ Plan Smarter, Not Harder — We discussed how to leverage course catalogs, subject pathways, and summer programs to accelerate academic growth. Pro tips included:
- Use the AUHSD Course Catalog to explore course options.
- Follow the AUHSD Math Pathways to ensure students are on track for advanced math opportunities.
✅ It's About Depth, Not Breadth — Colleges value quality over quantity when it comes to extracurriculars. Passion and leadership in a few meaningful areas outweighs a "laundry list" of activities. Check out examples of clubs at Miramonte High School for inspiration.
✅ Study Habits & Learning Support — Students succeed when they have structure. We discussed strategies like weekly Canvas reviews, goal setting, and reminders. For students with learning differences (like ADHD or Dyslexia), advocacy is key. Supports like IEPs, 504 plans, and executive function coaching can make a huge difference.
✅ College Admissions = Growth Over Perfection — Colleges care about growth, passion, and purpose — not just GPAs and test scores. Students should prioritize self-discovery and personal development as much as they focus on academics.
A big thank you to the Joaquin Moraga community for hosting us! We're grateful for the opportunity to connect with families and offer guidance during this important transition.
If you'd like StrivePath to bring this presentation to your school or PTA, we'd love to partner with you. We're proud to support students and families through local, in-person guidance with offices in Walnut Creek, San Ramon, Moraga, Oakland, Mountain View, and Fremont.
