Parenting Ideas

Thank you to the parents and carers who took the time to complete the Parenting Ideas Subscription Survey in the newsletter the last 2 weeks. (We are hoping the Schoolzine survey tool proves to be very useful.)

We had a range of responses about the use of the articles, webinars and website, including:

• Planning to use webinar. Resource very appreciated. The parenting advice is really helpful.
• I have read Parenting Ideas Insights, but I have not necessarily accessed resources beyond the articles.
• I didn't know about them or how to access them.

Our feedback through the year has been positive and staff have used several of the articles in conversations with families. The subscription was supported by the BeYou plan (formally KidsMatter) as a way to connect and support our community.

We will continue the subscription into 2020 as a result of the feedback, taking on board the need advertise this resource in a more visible manner, and review again at the end of the year.

Meanwhile check out the Parenting Resource tab on their website today.

• A current webinar is about transitioning to high school. ($37)
• A current blog is about losing a pet.

Sacred Heart‘s Christmas Concert and Community Thank You Night Information 2019

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

Thank you to all families who have returned their RSVP to the Concert night and those who have offered to assist on the night with the dinner. We will publish a helper list early next week.

On the night please bring along your Santa hats, picnic rugs, camping chairs (for the BBQ afterwards) and your best singing voices!

The Concert will be held on Wednesday 11th December 2019 in the School Hall.

All children will need to be dropped off at classrooms* by 5:40pm. (*Year 1 please come to the Year 2 classrooms.) This will allow teachers enough time to prepare their class for the 6pm start. Children are to be collected from the classrooms after the concert. Please see the classroom teacher to have them checked off the class list. Your child is under your parental care from that point.

Thank You BBQ Dinner is from 7pm (BBQ and Salads) and will be held out the back on the school’s playground and oval area.

Please note that below is the run sheet for the evening and what we are asking children to wear for their class performances.

See you on Wednesday!

Yours faithfully
