Wellbeing
Small Towns Project
The Small Towns Project will be visiting 29 small/remote towns in the Loddon Campaspe region throughout the year to help better understand the barriers families face in accessing healthcare services. Lancefield is one of them! They have asked for feedback to help guide the visit. Please help by completing the feedback form if you can.
Inform and Empower
This term we have commenced Inform and Empower, thanks to the Bendigo Bank for making this accessible to all of our students. The program runs across the year, delivering lessons on cyber safety and digital wellbeing, with the aim being tocreate a safer and more positive online experiences for every child.
Staff completed their online session this week and we will be hosting a parent session as well. Stay tuned for the date!
Each term we will be sharing a tip sheet for how you can continue the conversation at home in the wellbeing section of our newsletter. Please reach out to your child's teacher or Kirsty if you have any further questions or concerns around digital wellbeing and cyber safety.
The Resilience Project
We are up and running! Already we've had 6J and 4/5W share their responses to our GEM chats at assembly and it's been great hearing some conversations and ideas around the school. We hope you've managed to check out the board outside the gym, taken a photo of the GEM chat for families or even taken it to work or a group you belong to get the conversation started. (I'd love to hear about this if you have!)
This week's family chat is:
