'Seasons for Growth' Program

Learning to live with change and loss

Br Tony Cummins

Change and loss are issues that affect all of us at some stage in our lives. At St Bede’s College, we recognise that when changes occur in families through death, separation, divorce and related circumstances, young people may benefit from learning how to manage these changes effectively. We are therefore offering a very successful education program called Seasons for Growth which will commence in Week 2 of Term 4. This program is facilitated in small groups and is based on research which highlights the importance of social support and the need the practise new skills to cope effectively with change and loss. The program focuses on issues such as self-esteem, managing feelings, problem-solving, decision-making, effective communication and support networks.

If you think your child/children would benefit from Seasons for Growth we would encourage you to talk to them about participating in the program. St Bede’s College is pleased to be able to offer this important program and we are confident that it will be a valuable learning experience for those who request to be involved. If you require further information or would like to register for the program, please contact:
