Elevate Education Parent Webinar: How You Can Support Your Child During Exams

Wednesday 5 June | 6.30-7.30pm

Having the right support at home in the run-up to an exam can drastically improve a student's confidence levels and performance.  

 

But it can be easy for parents to take a step back during this time for fear of getting in the way.  

 

Next week, Elevate Education will be showing parents how they can support their child during this time without feeling as though they’re intruding and help them to implement performance-boosting routines.

Pride Week

Week 6 - Monday 3 June to Sunday 9 June

Next week the Senior School will be celebrating Pride Week and the diversity in our community. June is Pride Month in Australia and offers us a chance to reflect on the progress we are making in society, and to show the link to our School’s Purpose and Concerns statement

 

The week will commence with an assembly with guest speaker, Dr Charlie Burton. Then throughout the week there will be inclusive spaces, queer quizzes, pride stickers available for students and staff, a Bake Sale on Wednesday and finishing with a rainbow free dress day on Friday.

 

We hope to raise awareness for the diversity in our community, and all funds raised will be donated to Working It Out.
