Student Wellbeing
Dear Parents and Carers,
We will be launching our first Raising Our Kids Together cuppa and chat session next month. On the first Wednesday of every month, from 2:30-3:30pm, I will be inviting parents and carers to meet me in the staffroom for a cuppa and a chat.
We understand that parenting can be overwhelming at times and that we really do need a village to raise our children. If you would like to spend time with a supportive group of like-minded parents and carers to discuss the challenges and joys of raising our young people then please feel free to come. You might have questions or concerns, or would just like to meet with fellow parents who are on the journey of parenthood alongside you.
Please see the attached flyer and reach out to me if you have any questions Jessica.brown@education.vic.gov.au.
Our first session will be a great chance to get to know each other and will look at “Start of the day wobbles”. Please don’t feel you need to commit to all sessions; just know you are welcome anytime.
Kind regards,
Jess Brown
