A message from Sarah...

I would like to extend my thanks to the students who participated in the Emotikids group sessions during Term 1 and 2, and also to the parents who supported their children to be involved. As this was the first time that the Emotikids program has been facilitated, I would greatly appreciate some feedback from parents. This will provide valuable insights into the future development of educational groups for children, and please note that you can choose to have this feedback remain anonymous. Please visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WVVZXTY to complete the survey.

I am pleased to have the capacity to host more group programs at St. Anne’s during the next two terms. The DRUMBEAT, Emotikids and Seasons for Growth programs are possible if enough families express interest. Please find the link to the CCS group enrolment form if you would like your child to participate in a group: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TC5SG2D. Parents who completed this form in earlier terms are welcome to complete it again if you are interested in your child participating in a different group. Please call Sarah on 5820 0444 if you have any further questions about the programs on offer.

Many thanks,

Sarah (student support officer)
