Wellbeing

We know this time will be difficult for our whole school community. Please see the links below from Headspace around grief, and supporting children through grief. We have also started collecting picture story books that might be useful for helping students understand grief and loss. These might be used by teachers in classrooms. You might also want to source these books from local libraries to read at home. 

• I Remember by Jennifer Moore-Mallinos
• Beginnings and Endings with Lifetimes in Between by Bryan Mellonie & Robert Ingpen
• If Nathan Were Here by Mary Bahr
• The Memory Tree by Britta Teckentrup
• The Heart and the Bottle by Oliver Jeffers
• The Invisible String by Patrice Karst
