Assistant Principals' Reports

Parent workshops in partnership with Hume City Council

MacKillop Family Services and The MacKillop Institute are partnering with Hume City Council to support the community through the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic through a series of online workshops.

Workshops are 1.5 hours and will focus on:

• the impact of toxic stress and adversity

• the manifestation of complex trauma for children and its impacts on learning and wellbeing

• providing strategies for parents to reduce long term impacts

Please see flyers below for the information on the workshops.

Staying safe online

Students are online for remote learning and no doubt spending additional time using technology to connect with friends, play games and watch videos. It is important that all students remain safe online and if something worries them, they need to tell someone. 

Tips to staying safe online: 

• use the school platform Microsoft Teams to chat with school friends
• share your learning with your parents, showing them the interactions you've had with other students and your teacher
• keep the laptop or iPad in a common area so the screen is visible by others
• have three adults you can talk to you if something is worrying you (teacher, parent)

If you are concerned about anything that has happened on Teams, please email the school and we will look into it.

Spring time

Next time you drive past the school you may notice a new corridor of plants near the prep-2 playground. Thanks to the Hume Council - Schools for nature grant, we have planted a number of plants to increase the biodiversity and street appeal of our school.

Thanks Chris for getting the job done!
