Has your family had a... Gem Chat? 

GEM Chats allow us all to practice the TRP principles each and every day and are a great way for families to connect with TRP at home. 

 

We STRONGLY encourage you as a family to start having these discussions at home. They're a great way for students to think about GEM outside of the school setting and to regularly practice strategies to improve mental health.     

 

This fortnights GEM chat!

The first GEM chat that we ask you try at home is - "What were three things that went well for you today?". 

This chat comes from the Gratitude component of GEM and helps our kids, and ourselves, to pay attention on what we HAVE and not on what we don't. 

 

Good luck! :) 

 

The TRP @ NPS!

Throughout 2023, we will be working closely with The Resilience Project to support the wellbeing of our school community. The Resilience Project delivers emotionally engaging programs and provides evidence-based, practical strategies to build resilience. Our Partnership Program consists of online presentations and weekly lessons for students, professional development for staff, and Parent & Carer Hub (inc. digital presentations) for our parent and carer community. 

 

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing the Parent & Carer Hub with you. The videos are 5-10 minutes long and will walk through the key pillars of resilience: Gratitude, Empathy & Mindfulness. You’ll hear stories and be introduced to activities to show how these strategies can support our kids' learning and development, and also support you as parents and carers. This program is an important part of our school’s effort to look after the mental health of our community.

We will be in touch fortnightly to share the remainder of the program, including research and wellbeing activities to integrate into day to day life.
