Strategies to Increase School Engagement
On Tuesday 30 May, the Student Services Team is hosting a ZOOM presentation by Dr Glenn Melvin (Associate Professor - Deakin University), an expert in School Refusal and re-engagement of youth into education.
The aim of the presentation is to inform and educate parents/carers on various strategies and approaches, to help support the engagement of their student in education.
The presentation will cover the families/school relationship and how together we can work to build student engagement, through increased attendance, social learning and positive future habits.
This is highly recommended for families struggling with disengagement from school (school refusing), resulting in low attendance.
- Tuesday 30 May
- Via ZOOM
- 6 pm
Parents and Carers interested in the Zoom presentation, please contact Students Services on 9735 5644 or email Candice Richards -
