School TV special report: instilling hope in uncertain times

The levels of uncertainty we are currently experiencing are unprecedented and it is becoming evident that this is taking a toll on our young people.

It appears that lockdowns and tighter restrictions will be with us for some time, so it is more important than ever to instill hope and remain optimistic. 

We can play a vital role in helping young people reframe their worries, encouraging them to see life as it is and getting them to focus more on the things they can control, rather than those they can’t.

This Special Report from SchoolTV outlines how we can offer support in such times of uncertainty. If this Special Report raises any concerns for you, a loved one or the wellbeing of your child, please seek medical or professional help.

Share your favourite Dad joke!

Simply record a short video (15-20secs) on your phone of you telling the joke (with or without your Dad or special person) and email it to childerleyc@kilvington.vic.edu.au by Friday 27 August.

PEP Talk on Sexual Health and Consent - 26 August 2021

Discussing sexual health and consent with our children can be vexing not only for them but also for us as parents and guardians. With the current intense focus on consent, we can do with all the help we can get to make sure our children are well informed and safe.   

Elephant Ed is a leading sexuality education provider to hundreds of schools around Australia. They have run many workshops for Kilvington students. For the first time, they will align our student workshops with this important PEP Talk for parents and carers of Year 5 to Year 12 students.

The Elephant Ed presentation will include the following:

• Statistics and the prevalence of sexual assault.
• Legalities surrounding consent.
• Avenues to seek help.
• Strategies to start the conversation at home.

It will be held on Thursday 26 August 2021 from 7.00 to 8.00pm as an online event. Register here to attend.
