Assistant Principal - Mission - Staff and Student Wellbeing

It seems like it has taken no time at all to get back to what we do best and that is to learn as a community in the school setting. However, this may not be the case for all students. Michael Grosse from Parenting Ideas offers some great insights into how you can help your child deal with the return to regular life at the College. While some of the points covered may best suit a primary student, there are some excellent thoughts on how children can reengage with their peers and cope with the workload from the past and be able to move to the future.

The next Parenting Ideas webinar “Understanding Techno Tantrums” will screen on Wednesday 17 June at 8:00 pm. I would encourage as many parents as possible to avail themselves of this free webinar by attending the Parenting Ideas website, searching for webinars and adding the voucher token (TECHNO) once you proceed to the checkout. The previous webinar was well worth watching and I am expecting this one to be the same. Below is an outline of the content that will be covered:

In this digital era, chances are we’ve all experienced our children throwing a techno-tantrum. Techno-tantrums are completely normal and often a result of the neurobiological changes that occur when kids use technology. But this doesn’t mean that we have to simply accept that they’re part of our modern parenting reality.
In this webinar  Dr Kristy Goodwin helps parents and carers understand why children and teens emotionally combust when they digitally-disconnect, and how to establish new, healthy technology habits. 

Last Sunday we celebrated the feast of Pentecost. It is a celebration of God’s hand guiding the Christian community through the trials and decisions that are presented to it. Ironically it also coincided with churches becoming open to small numbers of worshippers being present in churches in Australia.

From that first Pentecost until now, it has always been the belief of the Church that the Holy Spirit directs and guides us collectively and individually. God is not a distant being and the ascended Jesus has not abandoned us.

Until next time remember:

We have the Spirit of God living and working in our lives and in our Church.
