Starting in Term 4 we will be running some new small group programs based around Friendships and social skills as well as looking at strategies for managing our different emotions.  If your child is involved in these groups you will have been contacted already.

R U OK DAY?

September 12, 2024

R U OK? Day is an important event that encourages everyone to connect and support one another by asking the simple but powerful question, "Are you OK?" This day serves as a reminder to check in on friends, family, and classmates who may be going through tough times. To effectively check in with someone, follow these steps:

1. Ask: Start the conversation by asking, "Are you OK?" Make sure to ask in a caring and genuine way.
2. Listen: Give the person your full attention and listen without interruption. Show that you care about what they have to say.
3. Encourage: If they share that they are struggling, encourage them to talk about it and express their feelings. Let them know that it's okay to seek help.
4. Follow Up: Check back in with them later to see how they are doing. This shows that you continue to care and are there for them.

If your child is having difficulty and would like to chat to someone remember there is always kids helpline as an option.Kids helpline

Fun times at lunchtime with our friends!

If you happen to have any good quality hessian at home that you no longer require, we would love it in the Mindfulness Centre.
