PRINCIPAL REPORT

Dear Parents, Carers, Students and Friends,

I am pleased to announce that we have continued with our subscription to SchoolTV. SchoolTV is a collection of web-based online video (and other) resources designed to support parents in raising their children.

As a parent I know that, sometimes, we can feel overwhelmed by circumstances, and unsure what to do to support our children.

The resources we are bringing to you are all up-to-date and, and draw on the expertise of some of Australia’s leading child psychologists and parenting experts. This information is organised into various topics, as well as a series of special reports which seek to address hot topics of moment.

We know that the start of a new school year can bring with it some challenges for students and their families. There are many things to contend with –– new students, new environments, new families, new teachers, new obstacles and new learning. Much of which will often require some careful planning, organising or navigating to ensure a smooth transition.

I commend the following Editions to you as a valuable source of support:

•​School Transitions

•​Surviving Final Year

•​School Refusal

•​Managing Screen Time

Also, Special Reports such as:

•​Moving To A New School

•​Surviving The Final Year

•​Starting Year 7

Yours sincerely,

Richard Minack
