SACRAMENT OF EUCHARIST
Please keep Ava, Sharlotte, Marianna, Lance, Tazlyn, Jazlyn, Hanny and Jessica from Year 3/4 in your thoughts as they prepare to make the Sacrament of First Eucharist on Sunday at the 10.30am Sacred Heart Parish Mass.
We wish them and their families every blessing as they make this special sacrament of initiation; another inportant step in their Catholic faith journey.
WELLBEING
For the first 2 weeks of Term 3, each class will have a focus in Inquiry on Wellbeing, friendships and aspects of social and emotional learning.
At Sacred Heart, we use Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships which is an evidenced based, sequential program developed by educational experts. It covers topics such as understanding and managing emotions, personal strenghts, problem solving and strategies to cope when things feel difficult.
Alongside this program we are also planning some new initatives in the area of Wellbeing that we will undertake in each class at Sacred Heart from Term 3.
COUNSELLOR
Antoniette and I are happy to announce that we will have an additional counsellor commencing at Sacred Heart in Term 3. The counsellor can assist children one on one or in small groups, for short or longer term sessions.
Working with a counsellor could help students develop lifelong skills such as managing anxiety, regulating anger, building resilience or navigating social challenges. Also areas such as supporting with strategies during family separations or grief and loss.
Counsellors frequently use play therapy, art, and storytelling to help students communicate and explore feelings.
Please get in touch if you'd like to know more or have a chat about counselling for your child in Term 3.
Take Care,
Kate
