In Term 2, Beaumaris Secondary College will recommence our partnership with Foodbank Victoria’s School Breakfast Clubs Program and commence providing lunch provisions for identified students in need. These will be stored at the front office.
Foodbank Victoria, in partnership with the Victorian Government, delivers the School Breakfast Clubs Program in government schools across Victoria.
- The Lunch Program supports students who may not have access to a sufficient or nutritious lunch. Providing lunch items at school enables students in need to concentrate and participate effectively in the school day.
- The Home Food Packs Program supports students who may not have enough food or access to nutritious food at home. Home Food Packs can be provided throughout the school term or school holidays.
If your child is in need of support, please speak with your child’s GOAL Mentor or front office staff for further information.
Supporting You to Support Them
FREE Professional Coaching Sessions for Parents/Carers of Teens 12–18yo
Free resources for families of adolescents aged 10 to 14 years
The Department of Education has launched an Easing into adolescence webpage for families of students aged 10 to 14 (Grade 5 to Year 8).
The webpage has information and strategies you can use to help ease your child into adolescence and secondary school. These include:
- a guide to emotion coaching. Staff from The University of Melbourne’s Tuning in to Teens Kids program developed the guidance.
- how to support your adolescent with their studies and more generally. Parenting expert and clinical psychologist Andrew Fuller helped develop this resource.
Subtitles for videos by The University of Melbourne on the webpage are available in 10 languages. You can select your preferred language on the translations page.
For questions about these resources, contact the Strategic Partnerships, Transitions and Student Voice team. You can email them at Secondary.School.Transition@education.vic.gov.au.
