How to talk to your children
about Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Eight tips to help comfort and protect children.
St Ed's Easter Hat Parade! (A fun way to end the term with Mrs L)
Activity: To create An Easter Hat at home to encourage our students to be creative while at home. For all of our families who would like to be involved we are inviting you to our ‘2020 Easter Hat Parade - Secret Mission from the Easter Bunny...
COVID-19 is trying to ruin our parade so we are inviting all St Edward’s School students to get out the craft box, or whatever you have in your house and make the best Easter hat that you can. Use your imagination and be creative and you will be the proud owner of an Easter hat!
Wear your hat for a home photo shoot with the family, your pet, or solo and send them through by Thursday 9th April on a Google Doc shared to Mrs L or you can email Mrs L on alockwood@arm.catholic.edu.au. Mrs L will then create an amazing Easter Hat Parade for 2020!!!
We are looking forward to seeing your fun, creative designs. See photos below for some inspiration....
