**Upon registration, registrants will receive a link to attend the webinar, along with a reminder the day prior.
Please note that the webinar will include parents from our Partnership Schools.
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 the Parent & Carer Hub (inc. digital presentations) for our parent and carer community.
TRP identifies the key pillars of resilience as: Gratitude, Empathy & Mindfulness. By accessing the Parent & Carer Hub 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.
For some of you , this material may be familiar from previous years - but the message still rings true to our core beliefs and actions that underpin social and emotional learning at BBPS.

Managing Illness in schools
- If your child is unwell, even with the mildest of symptoms, they must stay at home.
- If they have any of the symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose or shortness of breath, they should be tested with a rapid antigen test at home or a PCR test.
- They must stay at home until they have received a negative result and their symptoms have resolved.
- Cold and flu symptoms are very similar to the symptoms of COVID-19. Viruses can spread easily when children have close contact with each other. If your child is unwell with a viral illness, keep them home from school until they are well again.
There are illnesses other then COVID-19 where your child must stay at home for a certain amount of time. For further information and to see the school exclusion table please follow the below link.

Respectful relationships movie night
Education Week 2022 is fast approaching and we are so excited to announce that we will be holding a screening of ‘No More Boy and Girls: Can Our Kids Go Gender Free?’ for our senior students and families community.
As a part of our commitment to promoting equality within our school community, we will be hosting a documentary movie night for our Grade 4, 5 and 6 students and families. We are very lucky to have Kate Jenkins as a part of our BBPS community, who is not only a parent, but is also the Sex Discrimination Commissioner at the Australian Human Rights Commission. Kate will be giving a short speech to open the event, sharing her experience and the importance of educating our children about gender equality.
Brighton Beach Primary School is proud to be a lead school of the Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships Program. Respectful Relationships is about embedding a culture of respect and equality across our entire community, from our classrooms to staff rooms, sporting fields, fetes and social events. This approach leads to positive impacts on a student's academic outcomes, their mental health, classroom behaviour, and relationships between teachers and students.
We are looking forward to seeing you all for this exciting event!
