Supporting Your Kids

It can be challenging to process and manage changes to routines and the uncertainty that comes with COVID-19 and related restrictions – including moving to remote learning. 

 

To support our school community during this time, resources and support are available for parents, carers and families. 

 

These resources will help to support the mental health and wellbeing of our students and the young people in our care during this time. 

I encourage everyone in our community to access these resources and take care of themselves during this time. 

 

Quick Guide to Student Mental Health and Wellbeing resources is available for students, parents and carers looking to access expert guidance and resources to support wellbeing.

Supporting the mental health and wellbeing of our students remains our priority this year, especially during the continued COVID-19 pandemic and while students are learning from home during the current circuit breaker restrictions. 

 

For students, the guide includes resources to support their own mental health and wellbeing.

  • Advice and resources for students about ways to adapt their learning during COVID-19, to look after themselves and where to get help.
  • Wellbeing activities fearing AFL and AFLW players with tips on managing stress, staying active and gratitude.
  • Kick it with Victory physical activities with Melbourne Victory Football Club.
  • Smiling Mind mindfulness activities for senior secondary school students, including short videos, online tip sheets and meditations

The guide also includes resources and supports for parents and carers to help them build their child’s physical and mental health and wellbeing. This includes:

  • resources to support children’s physical, mental health and wellbeing
  • wellbeing activities and conversation starters
  • Raising Learners podcast series
  • how to talk to your child about COVID-19.

Wellbeing guidance for parents and carers is alsoavailable on the Department’s website, or through the confidential parent support hotline, Parentline, available 8am to midnight, seven days a week. Phone: 13 22 89.

Mid Year Academic Awards

At this time of year, our school community normally gathers to recognise the hard work and achievements of our students through the presentation of awards and certificates. The impact of COVID-19 and remote learning means that the presentation of awards in 2021 is once again going to look a little different.  It has been my privilege to inform families last week that their children have been recognised with awards. Thanks to the admin team and their efforts behind the scenes.  

 

Awards have been presented in two categories:

  • Academic Excellence Awards recognise outstanding academic achievement across the breadth and depth of the curriculum.
  • Academic Endeavour Awards are presented for outstanding effort, attitude and application by students.
