Wellbeing News

Hello wonderful Parents and Carers,

What a great start to the year we have had at MEPS!  

Thanks so much to the beautiful people who generously donated shoes to our Shoe Drive. We have received a lot of great shoes (both school shoes and weekend shoes) that are free to whoever would like some. Please send me through an email with your child's name, grade and shoe size as soon as possible. 

My email address is:  clarissa.kippie@education.vic.gov.au. Alternatively, you can pop in to see me and grab some shoes for your child/children. 

Each fortnight, I will attach some interesting articles or links that you may like to read.  They will all be aimed at supporting kids and their mental health and wellbeing. 

I hope you like this week's link from The Table Talk Project. Launched this year by Neil Milton, The Table Talk Project is all about encouraging families to sit together to eat dinner and have great conversations. The benefits of family conversation are endless; from building good connections, having intentional conversations and learning more about how everyone is tracking, these are all important factors in supporting your child's health. 

On their page you will find some fun conversation prompts, links for support, interesting articles, and there are even some delicious recipes.

You do have to sign up but it is free.

Have a wonderful day.

With warmest regards,

Crissi Kippie
