Every family in our school community is feeling the impacts of Coronavirus. Staff and the parents / carers of our students may benefit from guidance and support on managing this challenging time.
On Tuesday 25 August, the Department of Education and Training is presenting a free webinar for parents and carers by renowned child psychologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, on building family resilience during coronavirus (COVID-19).
Parents and carers play a vital role in helping children feel safe through uncertain times.

In this webinar, Dr Carr-Gregg provides tools and strategies for parents and carers to help manage the lockdown and remote learning. Topics include:
• your supportive role

• how to deal with disappointment
