Parent Resources
Our school has had a selection of texts made available by KidsXpress, a charity organisation providing social and emotional projects and resources to schools. They primarily have an arts focus, encouraging children to express themselves through music, drama and imaginative play. They have provided us with a selection of texts centring on the emotional wellbeing of children. If parents, or carers would like to borrow any of these texts please contact the school.
We also have a selection of picture books that can be used to support children on a variety of occasions including brain/regulation, feelings/emotions, coping with natural disasters/bushfires, death/grief/loss, body safety/awareness, attachment/relationships/friendship, self-esteem/diversity, making mistakes/resilience.
These books will be used in classrooms but may also be borrowed by families if they wish. If you think your child would benefit from reading child-centric books on any of these topics, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher and organise to borrow these books. There are many more books than the photos show. If you are interested in a comprehensive list, please contact the school.
