Wellbeing Update

Staying Healthy and Safe

Children will continue to be reminded about the importance of hand washing upon their return to school and messages in the public domain. The Australian Childhood Foundation has produced a child friendly explanation about why we cannot hug people that we may have before Covid-19.  You may wish to read this engaging resource together and complete the activity as a friendly visual reminder for young children in your home.

Hug resource attached below.

Support for Families

Listed below are a number of resources to support you with these new times of isolation at home. Our circumstances have changed: work, life, social, education, financial, fitness, etc… For many we have found ourselves in new and unchartered waters – quite often without our usual social networks of family and friends to support us. We will keep this in the newsletter each week and add to them where required.
