Foundation 100 Days of School
Free Psychology Sessions Available – Term 3
Our Psychs in Schools program returns to Deer Park West Primary School in Term 3, providing students with access to free sessions with a provisional psychologist.
These sessions are designed to support students with their social and emotional wellbeing, including building emotional awareness, resilience, confidence, friendships, self-regulation and coping strategies.
If you believe your child would benefit from this support, please contact the school and ask to speak with our Wellbeing Team. We will provide you with the required consent paperwork and discuss whether the program is suitable for your child.
Places are limited, with only 5 spots remaining, so we encourage families to get in touch as soon as possible to avoid missing out.
Thank you,
Wellbeing Team
