Student Wellbeing 

Welcome back

We look forward to working with students, families and staff again this term.

Support with Uniform Items

With the beautiful Autumn weather, it's possible the thought of winter uniforms may have slipped through. If you require support with uniforms, please make contact with me at the College. 

Breakfast Club 

Now that the mornings are very cold, it’s easy to sneak a few more minutes in bed…sometimes at the expense of breakfast. Breakfast Club runs in the Canteen every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday morning before school. It is open to ALL students. It is a great spot to stay warm and start the day with some chats and laughs. We encourage all students to make use of this fantastic resource. 

We secretly thanks Danielle, the Charlton Bakery, Caffeinated Chaos and Foodbank for the support of this Program! 

Headlice

In recent weeks we have had a number of cases of headlice in our school. We ask that parents are attentive in checking their child/ren’s hair and treat as soon as possible if necessary. Attached to the newsletter is a document regarding some information about headlice and the appropriate treatments. Please contact Jess McGurk at the College if you require any information or support in treating headlice. 

Catholic Care Victoria (CCV)- Parent programs & workshops

Over the year, CCV run a wide-range of one-off parent programs, as well as lengthier workshops. The delivery is both online & face-to-face & addresses a range of range of useful topics. Some programs are free, however some attract a cost. 

Each term they publish a calendar which will feature on the Parent’s Bulletin. In the past, a number of staff & families have participated in CCV programs & have spoken very highly of them. Please see the attached flyer as to what’s on offer in Term 2.

CCV also offer single session parent consultations which are available on weekdays, Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm. Consultations are offered via phone, online via Zoom, or face-to-face. To book a single-session parent consultation, call the Bendigo office reception on (03) 5438 1300.

Headspace Regional Phone Counselling Service

A reminder that the headspace Regional Phone Counselling Service is still available for our secondary students to access. Some students feel more comfortable chatting with someone over the phone rather than face to face & this service provides confidential access to experienced counsellors. A number of our students have utilised this service in the past & have found it very useful. Please see Jess or Tash if you would be interested in receiving more information or arranging a referral.
