Secondary student reports will at first be available via SEQTA Engage and then made available to students soon afterwards via SEQTA Learn.

Join us for an evening with Maggie Dent

The SEEDS Project invites you to a fantastic evening with Maggie Dent as she presents Real Kids in an Unreal World: Building Resilience and Self-esteem in Today's Children (10 Resilience Building Blocks). Children need to have certain basic experiences to build the competencies that will help them manage life - the good, the bad and the ugly. Maggie has developed a common-sense, practical model of 10 building blocks that will reassure parents that what we have always known to be important in the early years of a child's life is still important. This seminar will offer you practical, common-sense ideas and strategies to make small changes in your home, which will make a big difference to your child's cognitive, physical, psychological, emotional and social health later in life. 

When: Thursday 8 November

Time: 7:00pm to 8:30pm

Tickets: $20 per person and can be purchased from https://www.trybooking.com/392531
