Well done to parents/carers who are juggling multiple tasks at home during this challenging time.  Please reach out to classroom teachers or myself for strategies and supports. We do encourage kids to use the open daily WebEx meets to touch base with teachers. 

 

Attached are a few Department support documents for parents: 

1.     Looking after your child’s Wellbeing

2.     Wellbeing activities and conversation starters

3.     Wellbeing advice

Also, in response to current COVID19 restrictions with Melbourne metropolitan schools in remote learning mode, YarraMe School has a Parent Help Desk for parents and carers to assist in supporting children with complex needs who are learning from home.  

 

YarraMe's Help Desk; 

 

http://www.yarrame.vic.edu.au/help-desk.html   can assist with: 

•          understanding a child's behaviour.

•          providing personalised one to one telephone consultation with a special education               teacher.

•          discussion about behavioural support strategies.

•          advice on setting up learning environments.

•          providing targeted resources.

•          referral to external services.  

 

The purpose of this service is to provide parents and carers with the opportunity to discuss your child's behaviours, which may be impeding their ability to learn at home. 

 

The Help Desk can also help parents and carers to successfully navigate potential intervention pathways for their child.

 

 

Cheers,
