BE INVOLVED, BE CONNECTED

THIS WEEK I AM GRATEFUL FOR…

I am grateful for the connections we have formed with our parents and our community. It is so amazing to know that our families feel welcome, safe and connected enough to come and talk to us if they have any questions or concerns. We know you all trust us, and that if you think there is something that doesn’t make sense you will come and talk to us so that we can clarify it for you, and I am so grateful for this.

‘DIFFERENT, NOT LESS’

We want to create an opportunity for parents of neuro and physically diverse children, or children with additional needs, to talk to other parents in a similar situation. We know that it can be positive to connect with others with similar experiences to support each other to bring out the best for our kids. If you would like to be a part of this group and participating in some parent catch ups then please complete the Google Form below by Friday the 27th November so that we can pass on your contact details.

2021 FAMILY BUDDIES

We are asking our existing families to ‘be involved’ and to welcome one of the new 2021 families into our South Melbourne Park Community. If you would be interested in connecting with one of our new families we ask that you fill in this ‘Create the new 2021 South Melb. Community’ Google Form.

We would provide you with the contact details of one of our new families and all that we ask would be that you contact them to welcome them to the SMPPS community, this could be as simple as a welcome email or going for a walk to school together, but it is a nice way for us to 'be connected'

If you are one of our new families starting in 2020 and would like to connect with one of our existing families we ask that you fill in this expression of interest form here.
