Wellbeing Update

Free Family In Focus Workshops - Port Phillip Community Group 

Family in Focus is designed for parents and carers who want to build knowledge, skills and confidence to support their children as they grow, particularly during their school years. The course is open to all parents and carers but is most relevant to those who have faced barriers to their own education, have limited support networks, live on a chronically low income or are facing other types of social disadvantage.

Family in Focus is a series of five introductory workshops covering a range of topics relevant to parents and carers with school aged children or children in their pre-school (years details below). Each of the workshops will provide key learning takeaways, plus an overview of how each topic will be covered in more depth in courses or programs that PPCG offers now or intends to deliver in the next financial year.

The Family in Focus workshops/learning modules will most likely run on a Monday or Tuesday morning for two and a half hours in June, July and August 2023 (dates to be advised). Workshops will not be conducted during school holidays.

Parents can either self-register for the program or be referred by a case worker, kindergarten teacher, school teacher etc. Please call 8598 6600 or email info-support@ppcg.org.au

Pivot Wellbeing for Learning Platform

Research has shown a correlation between wellbeing, mental health, social and emotional skills and academic learning for students.

This year, the Wellbeing team will be trialling the use of a survey tool within various classes throughout the school, to measure, track and support student wellbeing.

Please see the infographic for more information about how the Wellbeing Tool works.
