Wellbeing 

Next Wednesday 13th September, Sacred Heart will be hosting  two ‘Living with Primary Aged Children’ Sessions (choose a suitable time) to help support our parents/families.

Focus concepts will surround the importance of a safe, secure relationship, brain development, messages of behaviour and emotion coaching. There will be  opportunities for parents to contribute their experiences and observations. 

The session is an interactive one which also aims to validate and normalise the experience of parenting.

Following this, depending on interest, there will be some individual consults made available.

In addition, some online ‘Zoom’ - “Circle of Security” sessions with at least six parents will be conducted either in Term 4 or in Term 1 of 2024.

Where: Multipurpose Room at Sacred Heart

When: Wednesday 13th September

Time: 1:15pm - 3:15pm (or)

Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm

Please register your interest through the Connect Survey available in PAM.

This survey is open now.   

Some time ago, a parent wrote to us:

"I’m going to be reducing screen time in our home and looking to create interesting options for when my 8-year-old daughter needs a little direction on how to spend her time."

Let's face it—all of us wanted to reduce our kids' screen time at some point.

Technology is hardly avoidable in today's life—especially with online schooling. It can be tempting to hand over the screen and let the kids zone out while you get some work done (or just need some quiet).

Is there another way?

You can let your children take ownership of their day (at least some parts of it) and select their own offline activities.

Use our FREE Screen-Free Activities Tear-Off Posters to encourage interaction, creative thinking, problem-solving, and a healthy brain development all while keeping your kids off screens.
