Breakfast Club

There’s nothing quite like hanging out in the warmth with a milo and some toast on a chilly winter's morning! After starting out the year running Breaky Club from the canteen we had a very welcome return back into the Home Ec room ready for the cooler months. Our Breaky club room continues to be the place to be before the day begins; a breakfast top-up, a chat with friends, and getting to know each other with our morning question on the whiteboard. It remains an integral part of the pastoral care of our students.

Again, we are very grateful to our generous supporters; Foodbank, our awesome P&C and the many households who donate to our Breakfast Club program. If you would like to contribute to this valuable program for semester two here are some things we are looking for:

Butter
Jam
Milo
Promite

Any donations can be left at the front office.

Family Connect Program

In 2021, Relationships Australia became custodians of the popular Family Connect program – an online learning tool for families looking to build trusting and respectful relationships.

The Family Connect program provides families with a healthy emotional system to implement at home which supports listening, appreciation, emotional literacy and self-responsibility for the family. Uniquely, the whole family learns these skills together to support great relationships and good mental health outcomes.

At a time when relationships have been under great pressure, the importance of meaningful connection within families has never been more apparent. Through open, honest communication, respectful and sustainable relationships can be built and nurtured.

Relationships Australia encourages all Australians to make use of this program, and to discover these practical tools for emotional wellbeing and resilience.
