Seasons for Growth

Dear Parents,

We are accepting expressions of interest from parents who would like their child/children to participate in the Seasons For Growth program for Term 2.

Seasons is a peer support program for young people who have experienced the loss of a significant person in their lives. This loss and change is essentially because of death, or separation and divorce within the family unit.

When we experience loss we may look for support and encouragement as we adjust to the loss. The changes in our lives that occurs because of this loss, challenge us to find ‘inner and outer' resources to help us cope and reconcile our lives.

Seasons provides an opportunity for young people to express, acknowledge, normalise and integrate their grief. The facilitator running the sessions has been trained to guide this process.

If your child is part of a single parent or step-family or has experienced the loss or death of a significant person, this will be an opportunity for them to share with someone what is happening on the inside. 

As it is a peer support program that relies on discussion within a group, the availability of the program is dependent on the number of children wanting to participate and the staff available.

The Seasons program will be organised as follows:

- sessions will be held at school.

- will comprise of 10 weekly sessions 

- the group will have no more than 6 children.

- the group will be facilitated by a specially trained staff member - for Term 2, the facilitator will be Kim Goddard.  

If you would like your child to be a part of this program or would like some further information, please email feel free to email me.

Yours Sincerely

Jo Hunt
