Online Parent Opinion Survey

On Monday 7 August, you will receive, via email, a link to our Parent/Caregivers/Guardians survey. The annual survey is offered by the Department of Education and is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of families’ perceptions of school climate, student behavior, and student engagement. The survey is optional but we encourage all families to participate. Our school will use the survey results to help inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies. The survey will close on Friday 8 September 2023.

Tuning into Kids Week 6  Expressions of Interest

We are looking to potentially run this 6-week program for parents in Term 4. It will be open to a small group and will be held at Toorak Primary School in the hour before pick up. 

Please express your interest in the link if you would be interested in participating. https://forms.gle/gGujUNjwt3bdiR1VA

Would you like to learn how to:

• Be better at talking with your child?        
• Be better at understanding your child?
• Help your child learn to manage their emotions?
• Help to prevent behaviour problems in your child?
• Teach your child to deal with conflict?

Tuning in to Kids shows you how to help your child develop emotional intelligence. Children with higher emotional intelligence:

• Have greater success with making and keeping friends.
• Have better concentration at school.
• Are more able to calm down when upset or angry.
• Tend to have fewer childhood illnesses.

Emotional intelligence may be a better predictor of academic and career success than IQ!
