Triple P – Positive Parenting Program

As parents, we want to raise our children in a way that aligns with our values, and at times, may need a bit of support to do this.

To support families in developing positive parenting skills and manage challenge, the Victorian Government provides free access to Triple P – Positive Parenting Program. 

The aims of the program are to provide support to:

• create a safe, interesting environment
• have a positive learning environment
• use assertive discipline
• have realistic expectations
• take care of yourself as a parent.

Support for parents is available via online or workbook-based self-help programs courses.

To find out more or to sign up for a course, visit the Triple P website, or the Victorian Government website below.

VHAP consists of a ten-week online course in Mathematics and English, for students in Year 5&6 at MPWPS. Students engage in Webex classes with their teachers and engage with provided course material. 

The VHAP classroom provides students with the opportunity to:

• explore and express their ideas freely

• make their own decisions about their work

• be inspired and challenged by each other

• gain confidence in their choices and abilities
• feel excited by their learning.

Students are selected to the program based on previous NAPLAN and PAT Reading & Maths results. Families will be provided with consent forms if their child has been nominated and accepted into the program for Term 2.
