Camp Quality Cancer Education Program

 

Camp Quality's free cancer education program delivers engaging, age-appropriate cancer education, dispels myths, and reduces bullying, absenteeism and the need for mental health support services for kids impacted by cancer. 

 

Their interactive puppet show empowers children with knowledge and compassion. 

 

Camp Quality's puppets will be visiting Marlborough Primary School on Friday 10th October in the Specialist Hub.

 

 

 

  • Years F-2 will participate in a 30 minute show from 11.30am-12pm.

  • Years 3-6's show will be from 12.20pm-1.20pm.

     

Our whole school community is encouraged to attend. If you wish for your child to opt-out of their scheduled puppet show, please email their classroom teacher by Wednesday 8th October.

The Neurodivergent Students' Guide to Starting High School

Advice and reassurance from mentors who get it

 

I CAN and the Victorian Department of Education are proud to showcase their short novel, The Neurodivergent Students’ Guide to Starting High School. 

 

Neurodivergent mentors from the I CAN team have reflected on tips which would have been helpful to hear before they started Year 7 and put it into a graphic novel to assist students before the big start of Year 7.
