BUILDING BRIDGES ParentEd

At the start of our 2023 school year we were excited to launch our ParentEd Program. We believe that effective communication and collaboration between home and school are crucial for the success of our students. With the ParentEd Program, we hope to strengthen these connections and work together to respond to the individual and collective needs of each student.

We are dedicated to creating a supportive and inclusive environment that allows everyone to grow and reach their full potential. We strongly believe that a holistic approach is essential to ensuring the wellbeing of our students, staff and the entire school community. As a result, we strive to create a safe, happy, connected, and cohesive learning environment for all.

Our shared goal of helping every child reach their highest potential can be achieved, through the collective efforts of staff, parents and students. We encourage parents to take an active role in their child’s educational journey and welcome feedback from them.

It has been great to see parents and carers embrace the ParentEd program so far and attend the workshops that have been offered like: 1-2-3 Magic and Emotion Coaching Parenting Workshops and An Evening with Dr Kaylene Henderson - Tackling Anxiety and Building Resilience. Through these workshops and others we are confident that by working together, we can create a better future for our students.

Through our Wellbeing Framework we offer a ‘Positive Education’ approach, This program is designed to equip our students with the necessary skills to succeed in all aspects of their lives, not just academically. Our aim is to empower our students to lead happy and fulfilling lives by fostering strong relationships, emotional intelligence, and resilience.

With our holistic approach to education, we instill in our students an appreciation of the importance of physical health, mindfulness, and healthy lifestyle habits. By creating a positive learning environment and teaching skills that promote well-being, we believe that our students can be empowered to reach their goals and become motivated, competent, and successful individuals. We understand that these skills are essential for creating a foundation in which students can thrive and reach their full potential.

We are proud of the success of our ParentEd Program to date and the positive impact it has had on our students, staff and school community. As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to fostering strong relationships between home and school, and empowering our students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive.

We encourage all parents to support the ParentEd program and work with us to continue to create a supportive and enriching learning environment for our young people. Together, we can help our students achieve their full potential and empower them with the skills and knowledge they need to be successful, happy, and well-rounded individuals.
