Student Well-being
Spotlight: 1/2 Community
Focus:
Over the last few weeks, the 1/2 community has been working on their understanding of emotions. They have used the fictional character 'Mr Wibbly' to discuss the different emotions that a person might be feeling as well as the physical signs that go along with such emotions.
They then were able to offer advice to Mr Wibbly through the format of a letter, offering some great suggestions to ways you can continue to feel positive and happy.
The 1/2 Community then followed this up with a Crazy Hair Day, where students sported all sorts of wild and wonderful hairstyles.
FREE Webinar for Parents - TONIGHT!
'Lightening the Lockdown Load'
-WEDNESDAY 19th AUGUST, 8pm
We have signed our school up to receive this FREE Parent Webinar! It sounds so helpful and just what we need right now! Here is some information about it! I hope to 'see' all of you there!
Lockdown is hard. It hurts our kids and it’s a drain on parents. The first time was tricky. There were challenges. For some, it was horrible. But most of us managed okay and got through it.
This time it’s different. The pressure is higher. The demands are greater. The children are more oppositional. The home learning stretch will be longer. There’s work stress, family stress and stress about being stressed!
While we can’t click our fingers and make it magically disappear, there are real strategies that parents and children can rely on to not just survive, but thrive – even in a far-too-long lockdown. They’re simple ideas that you can start on right away.
Join Dr Justin Coulson, one of Australia’s most trusted parenting specialists, as he shares 4 secrets to make it through the pain of the winter COVID-19 Victorian lockdown. By the end of this FREE webinar, you’ll:
- Feel reassured, with less stress and pressure around your kids, their schooling and life
- Have concrete strategies you can start on immediately to make your family happier
- Know how to be on the same page as your partner
- Be able to develop habits and practices that will ensure your children – and YOU – can get your daily work done, even while everyone is stuck at home.
