From the Assistant Principals...

Corona virus

Just this week we have seen our school and home lives change substantially.  Children have been bombarded with information on a topic that may be frightening for some and for others, simply seen as an annoyance as some of the activities that they enjoy have been cancelled.  As adults, we also are challenged to be careful without spreading panic. As a very wise man, Mr Bernard Mackson, once stated, (albeit in relation to being careful of snakes but it seems to apply in the current climate), "be vigilant and alert, but not hysterical".

Please see the attached article from Parenting Ideas website if you would like some suggestions on helping children to process this ever changing crisis.
