Student Wellbeing 

Dear Parents and Carers,

We have appreciated your support and feedback regarding our ROKT sessions. We have loved getting to know you and feel honoured to be sharing the journey of parenthood with you. 

We are changing things up a little, to ensure that sessions best meet the needs of those attending. Due to a lack of time and the diversity of those attending we have decided to focus each session on a particular cohort of parents. This will ensure that parents with similar aged children can share and learn from each other around topics that are particularly relevant for the age/stage of their child/children. I have attached the schedule for the next 3 upcoming sessions which will be held in August, September and November.  

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Jessica Brown
