As you know, one of our four core values is COMPASSION and we want all our students to develop into caring and compassionate people who seek to look after others. Over the course of last week we had presentations in homegroup around RUOK day that were designed to upskill and encourage students to be better listeners and supports to their friends. We also emphasized the importance of kindness towards all. It is important to us that all of our students feel cared for and valued by our college. And of course everyday should be RUOK Day…. And we reminded students of that too.  

 

And as always, we want to remind you, that your child’s mental health is our priority and we want to continue to provide quality welfare support to our students, even during remote learning. If you have any concerns at all about your child then please contact your child’s coordinator or myself so we can discuss appropriate wellbeing support. We are available to parents via phone or text. Your child can also contact us directly by knocking on the door of our office. We are here to support you.
