Commitment to Reconciliation Assembly: Parent Invitation
We are a Happy Families College!
Our College is now subscribed to the Happy Families School Website!
Owned and run by Dr Justin Coulson, one of Australia’s leading parenting experts, the membership offers a wealth of parenting education and resources.
Justin has presented at Endeavour College on behalf of the Connected Schools, for the past two years on a range of helpful parenting topics. You may have seen him on Channel Nine’s Parental Guidance or regularly on morning television.
Instead of presenting in person at the College, we will regularly share resources available through the Happy Families Membership with you, including articles and webinars.
You can also access resources at any time using the below URL (unique to our College) and password.

Happy Families Webinar:
The Teenage Brain
Did you know that...
- your teen's brain is actually overdeveloped, not underdeveloped!
- boys experience a neurologically related drop in empathy during their early teens, but girls don't!
- if it were brain development that created risk-taking and sensation-seeking, your 13-year-old would take bigger risks than your 17-year-old!
Join Dr Justin Coulson for an incredible webinar that looks deep inside our teenager's brains, helping us to know what's really going on in there, and what we can do to help our teenagers make safe, healthy, wise decisions.

BusMinder
A safer, more secure way for your child to travel to and from school.
PAY AND SWIPE
The BusMinder App is required for any students permanently or casually catching the Good Shepherd school bus. A bonus of using this App is as a parent/caregiver, you will be able to track your child's journeys and pay for passes via this App.
For your information, should your child catch the bus and you have not yet paid for a pass, the College will be alerted, and you will be asked to use the BusMinder App to purchase a casual pass to cover those trips taken, and any future trips. We recommend that this be done as soon as possible to avoid your child being denied future trips or overdue fees being allocated to your parent account.
Every child must use their own Student ID to swipe on every trip. If your child does not have their ID, the driver will manually enter their name and provide the College details of the situation. No child will be allowed to travel without swiping their ID first or having their details recorded, and there are no exceptions to this requirement.
Families booking Term, Semester or Yearly passes please contact the College to tell us which stops and days are required, and we will enter this in the App. This helps to communicate the correct passenger details with the bus driver.
Please let the College know if you are having any trouble with the App and we are always here to assist.
Open Twilight

The thought of leaving our comfort zone and starting fresh can be overwhelming, but with proper planning and execution, it can be an opportunity for growth and new experiences.

We're confident that your experience in transferring will find you success in your academic and personal life as you enjoy Endeavour's academic rigor, extracurricular activities, student culture and not to forget our fabulous location in Mawson Lakes.
