A Message from the Principal

Dear Parents and Carers,

Today I would like to remind our community of the useful resource for parents ‘School TV’ which  is an online resource with parenting tips on a range of topics. One example is the topic Friendship and Belonging.  This topic has short videos which address concerns such as:

My child had an argument with a friend at school today. Should I help sort it out?

My child seems to play with different friends each day. Is this normal?

If my child comes home from school and says ‘No-one likes me’ How should I respond?

“The ability to obtain, maintain and retain friendships is, according to all the childhood psychologists in the whole wide world, the greatest predictor of wellbeing. Having a rich repertoire of friends is a true indicator of whether your child is travelling ok.”     Dr Michael Carr-Gregg

I encourage you to spend a few minutes browsing this site which can be accessed by clicking on the following link:

Have a wonderful week
