ClimbFit After School Mentoring Activity
Last Thursday students in the Mentoring Program attended an after school activity at ClimbFit, St Leonards. The activity was a chance for the junior and senior students involved in the program to get to know each other further while spending time building their confidence and trust. The boys had a great time together and learnt some new skills at the same time.

Transition from Primary School to High School Seminar - Attention All Junior School Parents
Starting a new school year can be challenging at the best of times, but when it comes to transitioning from primary to high school a few more difficulties can come into play.
Lane Cove Council is running a free event called Small Fish, Big Pond for parents on how best to manage the transition to High School. This will be a very worthwhile and informative seminar for parents, providing them with practical suggestions and strategies on how they can support their child through this transitional period in their lives. If, as a parent you are already feeling a little anxious (and what parent isn't?) about your son starting high school, then this seminar is for you.
Please see below for registration details.
Sessions are being held on Wednesday 21 September and Thursday 13 October from 6.30 pm to 7.30 pm. Click on the following link for registration details.
