Dear Parents and Carers,

All Souls Day                                                

To acknowledge the feast of All Souls on Monday we invite our families to send in a small card with the family name on the outside and the first name of the people you would like to pray for on the inside. We will place them on a prayer wall and pray for all those we love who have died. (you can seal a message inside if you wish).

Grandpanions Day (formally grandparents and special friends)

On Friday last week children created cards and messages for their Grandpanions. Look out on our Facebook feed tomorrow for our thank you to all those special older friends and family that contribute to the lives of our children.

Attend a webinar for parents at no charge

Our school has a membership with Parenting Ideas, one of Australia’s most trusted sources of parenting education and support. As part of this membership, all the parents in this school community can attend some fantastic webinars in 2020 at no cost. We’re pleased to let you know about an upcoming webinar.

Parenting like a cat and dog
Effective parents use more than one style when communicating with their families. They know how to alter their style to suit the situation. In this webinar, Michael Grose uses cat and dog metaphors to introduce parents to two diverse styles of parenting. This will increase their ability and confidence to manage, nurture and build relationships with their children. The cat-dog approach to parenting is fun, easy to use, respectful and maximises parent effectiveness in challenging situations.

Key learning and discussion points include:

·How parents can identify their natural style and work harmoniously with their partner and/or support networks

·Building confidence to manage children who relish getting their own way

·Constructive ways to adjust communication so that it meets the individual needs of children

·Effective methods to communicate with anxious children so they feel supported, safe and listened to

·Techniques to adapt parenting styles as children move into adolescence

Presented by
Michael Grose
Award-winning speaker and bestselling author
