Parent Information Sessions – You're invited....
We are excited to announce that Catholic Education Sandhurst has partnered with renowned educator and neuroscientist Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath to work directly with our parents, carers, and students.
To kick off this partnership, Dr. Horvath has created three specially prepared video recordings designed to support and engage parents and carers across our Sandhurst community.
