Junior School Parent Information Session

You are here

Thank you to all the parents and caregivers who joined us on Thursday 12 February, for our Parent Information Session. It was wonderful to see so many of you engaged in our community’s shared goal of supporting our students' growth and wellbeing.

The evening featured valuable insights from our staff, focusing on modern parenting challenges and the resources available to our families.

Wellbeing Resources

Mrs Kylie Singles discussed the ongoing resources from SchoolTV, a resource designed to empower parents with practical strategies and reliable advice. 

As mentioned during the session, we have included the link to the video below, with more information on SchoolTV.

Recommended Reading

Mr Chris Wyatt spoke about the two books he highly recommends all parents to read. Linked below is each of these books. 

The Bonsai Child by Dr. Judith Locke: This book explores why modern parenting styles may be limiting children’s potential and offers practical strategies to help them become more confident and capable.

The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt: A compelling look at the "great rewiring" of childhood and how we can help our children navigate a phone-based world.
