  Webpage to help families and students prepare for a new school year

A new school year is an exciting time for students and families, but it can be a big step – particularly for those starting Prep, secondary school or VCE. The Department of Education has a webpage with resources and information to help you prepare for the new school year. During the school holidays, please consider reading through the resources, which include:

1. tips to help transition from kinder to Prep, primary to secondary school, and Year 10 to VCE

       2. what to expect at school

       3. help with school costs and fees

        4. health and wellbeing guidance to support children’s mental health.

Emotional Literacy 

Emotional Literacy involves learning to identify and label our emotions, as well as developing emotional regulation skills. When we can accurately name our feelings and emotions, it reduces the impact of uncomfortable emotions and enhances the effect of positive ones.

World Kindness Day- November 13th. 

This week, we’re celebrating World Kindness Day! We are encouraging everyone in our school community to join in by finding simple ways to show kindness — a friendly smile, a helping hand, or a kind word can make someone’s day. This week at school we have been sharing fun ideas with students about how small acts of kindness can spread happiness and strengthen our school community.
