Children, Family and Community

The Year 11 class were treated to some very special guests this week… young Frankie Robinson, aged 7 months, and Lily-Jane Eloff, aged 4 ½ months, along with their respective mothers, Mrs Melanie Robinson and Mrs Samantha Eloff, both current staff members of the College who are on maternity leave.

The students are about to engage with the Baby Think It Over program, whereby they will be looking after their own computerised babies for a 48-hour period, so it was really nice for them to see the real deal in action! Mrs Eloff and Mrs Robinson were very open and honest about their respective parenting journeys so far, and we look forward to having them and their daughters back in again to see how the little ones have changed. With our current focus on language development in young children, it will be interesting to see the babies again towards the end of the year, if we can.
