Principal's Message to the School Community

Dear KPS Community

Below is some information regarding an event being arranged by our Shire re supporting children’s recovery and wellbeing following a disaster, presented by Michelle Roberts.

Next date: Tuesday, 25 June 2024 | 06:45 PM to 08:30 PM.  Presented by Michelle Roberts at the Gisborne Mechanics Institute 

This is a free event, and Michelle (ex-teacher, turned psychologist and child disaster consultant) will join us for a conversation about the impacts of disasters on children. 

The event is relevant for parents, carers, teachers, nurses, and anyone interested in caring for families and children after a major life event. 

Michelle will talk about what to expect, what is normal, what adults need, and what children may need. 

She also has a great way of tying in understanding what is happening after a disaster, with how to prepare. 

As you know, Macedon Ranges has had its fair share of disaster weather events – and it’s unlikely to change any time soon. 

A light dinner will be provided, and we are currently investigating child minding at the venue. 

Bookings can be made here: https://www.mrsc.vic.gov.au/See-Do/Events-and-Awards/Whats-on-around-the-shire/A-conversation-on-disasters-and-wellbeing-for-children%E2%80%99s-recovery
