Parents and carers should have received a letter about our Harmony Day celebrations earlier this week. The information collected from this letter will be used to create a display in our school’s front office, celebrating and showcasing the cultural diversity within our community.

Please ensure the completed letter is returned to the school as soon as possible.

POSITIVE PARENTING

The mental health of today’s young people is at an all-time low. Depression, anxiety and self-harm are sadly on the rise. Unfortunately, there are more risk factors than protective factors, facing young people growing up. To parent effectively, it is simply not enough to avoid the obvious dangers like abuse, neglect and overindulgence. Parents therefore, need to arm themselves with practical skills, knowledge and strategies when it comes to raising children. Numerous studies suggest that the best-adjusted children are reared by parents who find a way to combine warmth and sensitivity with clear behavioural expectations.
