Accessing Support Through Credible References:

Supporting our families holistically is an important part of the wellbeing philosophy of our school. Here are some resources that may be of interest for you to refer to.

Thriving Kids and Parents Schools Project:

First in best dressed – 70 family places available.

As part of the Thriving Kids and Parents School Project, you are invited to attend three highly relevant Triple P – Positive Parenting seminars from one of the most effective evidence-based programs in the world, FREE of charge. These interactive seminars will be delivered to parents/carers of children aged 4 – 12 years from your school/via a videoconferencing platform.

The three interconnected seminars will provide you with a toolkit of practical strategies to help your child thrive. These strategies will help you guide your child’s behaviour, manage everyday worries, and build healthy peer relationships.

Attending all three seminars will provide you with the strategies you need to best support your child’s development.

The Power of Positive Parenting (Triple P Seminar) helps you to understand why kids behave the way they do and introduces practical strategies to support your child’s social and emotional development.
The Helping Your Child to Manage Anxiety (Fear-Less Triple P Seminar) is designed to equip you with the skills and strategies you need to support your child to manage their emotions and overcome challenges.
The Keeping your Child Safe from Bullying (Resilience Triple P Seminar) helps you maintain good communication with your child, develop positive peer relationships, and address conflict and bullying.

Student Experiences:

Young Leaders Conference

Respectful Relationships Student Voice Gender Equality Program

We had so much fun presenting and watching other people's presentations. It was so fun to learn all of the amazing things about gender equity and equality. We (Belgrave South Primary School) chose to do 'senior students should be better role models for our younger students' as our issue. It was a joy to host this program, and I was very fortunate to have been able to share this experience with my mum, who is a teacher at Karoo Primary School. Two of the posters we made are below the text.
