Parent Engagement
Co-ordinator
If you are interested in an online parenting course dealing with children who have anxiety, a group called Parentshop run online courses. See www.parentshop.com.au. Recently I did a training course with them on 123 Magic - a parenting program which I wish I had known more about with my own children. It works magic! Stay tuned for more in the coming terms about this. Parenting is a hard gig and we all need lifelong help with it!
Are you a good cook? we are calling for any families who could band together and would be prepared to cook one cultural dish, perhaps dress up in their national clothes and serve three items per country to our community before the Concert begins. Please email me on anne.gray1@dbb.catholic.edu.au if you want to get involved in this initiative in any way. If so, we are having a morning meeting on Thursday 10th August 8.15 am in the Parish Glass room which is the one on the drive through.
"Coffee Connect" Starts this Term on a regular basis on August 3rd!!! Open to ALL year groups for a chance to connect and chat. No need to stay for the whole hour - just pop in and say hello to those you know and those you may not.
Sunday 13th August: Year 3 and 4
Sunday 10th September: Year 5 and 6
Sunday 22nd October: Kindy 2023 and new Kindy's 2024.
Sunday 12th November: Year 1 and 2.
August 20th is our first one and we would love to make this a regular Year 5/6 focus. You come to Mass and then parishioners provide you and your family with dinner! Already I have had some lovely Year 6 students keen to read this night and Year 5 Altar servers will be commissioned in this Mass too.
Even if your toddler goes to preschool why not join us once every now and then for a story and craft? It's a great way for your child to transition to Kindy in 2024. Spread the word if you know of anyone- it's free! In the glass room near the drive through. Coffee for parents too. Email please if interested on anne.gray1@dbb.catholic.edu.au
