Dear Parents and Friends,

Peaceful Kids Parent Seminar

5 Secrets to Develop Confidence and Resilience

Students have been participating in the Peaceful Kids Program here at St Joseph's for the last couple of years under the facilitation of Deanne Morey. It is a Mindfulness and Positive Psychology based program to lessen anxiety and stress and increase resilience in children.  

Coming up on the 4th of September, we have the creator of Peaceful Kids and Director of Wellbeing for Kids, Georgina Manning, coming to our school to conduct the parent seminar, "5 Secrets to Develop Confidence and Resilience." Georgina has many years of experience working in schools supporting children and parents, and facilitates regular parent seminars in schools, school professional development days for educators, and is a National speaker for well-being events.  Georgina has created the ‘Peaceful Kids’ and 'Peaceful Parents' Mindfulness and Positive Psychology programs and holds training for school staff and mental health professionals across many states in Australia.  Georgina has most recently created the first 'Certificate in Mindfulness & Wellbeing for Children' training program in Australia. 

If you would like to attend the seminar, please email Catherine Bijker at cbijker@sjbeechworth.catholic.edu.au
