Student Wellbeing

Support Services

Welcome back to Term 3 and let’s pray that this term will be a smooth and healthy one for our Tyndale families.

We would just like to remind families of the many resources that are available to them to support them in their parenting journey.

The Bible speaks a lot about parenting and reminds us that; Children are a “heritage from the Lord” (Psalm 127:3). He places them in families and gives parents guidance in how they are to be raised. The goal of good parenting is to produce wise children who know and honor God with their lives. 

At times parenting can be challenging and difficult but we would like to encourage families that they are not alone and that our Wellbeing Team, along with class teachers and school leaders are here to listen and provide support for you. Tyndale Christian School sees your child’s wellbeing as an integral part of their school journey. When your child is supported emotionally, they can learn and grow more effectively. If you would prefer to access more online support in your parenting, please find below a number of useful support contacts.

On the Pupil Free Day at the start of Term 3, Learning Support ESOs from across the three schools met together at our Strathalbyn site for a full day of professional development.  This was delivered by our Director of Learning Support, Jill Dawson.

Active listening, Supporting ESL students and motivation techniques were some of the topics discussed. 

ESOs had a chance to network and share ideas across the three schools.
