How much screen time is too much?

This question has come up a couple of times this week as I have chatted with families. With the winter holidays coming up, it can be a challenging time.

Obviously the answer depends on the age of your child, the purpose of the time spent on screen and your family values. The challenge is balancing it against ‘peer’ and ‘pester‘ pressure to be doing what all their friends are doing.

I share here with you a link to eSafety website with advice, guidelines and family templates to help you set the boundaries you know are right for your child. 

Would you like to help warm someone’s heart?

Calling all knitters in the Sacred Heart Community!

Please help me make something cosy and warm to donate to the Vinnies winter appeal for people in need this winter! Do you want to be part of this cosy project?

I’m aiming to collect enough knitted squares to join and make a scarf or small blanket.

Each square needs to be knitted to a size of 10cm x 10cm.

They can be of any colour or wool thickness you like.

You could knit during the school holidays with your family.

I’d love to collect all of these by Tuesday 23^rd July to allow me time to sew them together.

You can hand them in to me or at the front desk.

Don’t forget to put your name on it so I know who to thank.

THANKYOU!!!

Yours in the virtue of Respect,
