Introducing The Resilience Project – Parent and Carer video series

Throughout 2024 we are working closely with The Resilience Project to support the wellbeing of our school community. Students in Years 6 – 9 are participating in this program as part of their Personal Development program each week. The Resilience Project delivers emotionally engaging programs and provides evidence-based, practical strategies to build resilience.

Our Partnership Program consists of online presentations and weekly lessons for students, professional development for staff, and Parent & Carer Hub (inc. digital presentations) for our parent and carer community.

Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing the Parent & Carer Hub with you. The videos are 5-10 minutes long and will walk through the key pillars of resilience: Gratitude, Empathy, and Mindfulness. You will hear stories and be introduced to activities to show how these strategies can support our kids' learning and development and support you as parents and carers.

This program is an important part of our school’s effort to look after the mental health of our community.

Be kind to yourself and others!
