NEW DIGITAL READING PROGRAM: WUSHKA 

This term, we are excited to announce that our school will be trialling Wushka, a cloud-based levelled reading program. This fantastic new tool is designed to make reading more interactive and fun for our students.

Wushka encourages children to explore a wide variety of both fiction and nonfiction books on their interactive devices. Whether they're at school or at home, students will have access to a rich library of texts, helping to build their reading skills in an engaging way.

Soon, each student will receive a letter containing their unique login details. This will allow them to access Wushka from any device, giving them the flexibility to complete reading activities at their own pace and leisure. 

Sibling relationships are often a child's first and longest-lasting social connection. These bonds can offer companionship, support and opportunities to develop important life skills such as empathy, negotiation and conflict resolution. However, like all close relationships, sibling dynamics can be complex. Differences in temperament, age, needs and parental attention can all contribute to tension or rivalry. It's not uncommon for children to compete for attention, especially during times of change or stress.

As a parent or caregiver, your role in shaping the tone of sibling relationships is vital. Creating a home environment that celebrates each child's unique strengths and avoids direct comparisons helps reduce rivalry and fosters mutual respect.

By listening without judgement, teaching emotional regulation, and supporting each child's individuality, you can create a family culture where siblings feel secure and valued. This edition of SchoolTV offers insights to support young people in developing positive, lasting sibling bonds that can remain strong well into adulthood.
