Exciting Step Up Session in Week 10!

We would like to remind you about our upcoming Step Up Session on 16th December during Week 10. This special event will run from 9:00 AM to 12:40 PM and is designed to help students transition smoothly into the 2025 school year.

During the session, students will have the opportunity to:

• Meet their 2025 classroom teacher
• Get acquainted with their English and Maths DI teachers
• Connect with their new classmates for 2025

This is a fantastic chance for students to familiarise themselves with their new learning environment and build connections that will support their academic journey next year.

We look forward to seeing all our students there and making this transition as seamless and enjoyable as possible!

To help your child make the most of the upcoming Step Up Session on 16th December, here are some tips to ensure they feel prepared and supported:

1. Discuss the Schedule: Go over the session's schedule with your child. Knowing what to expect can help reduce any anxiety they might have.

2. Encourage Questions: Encourage your child to think of any questions they might have about their new teachers or classmates. This can help them feel more engaged and confident during the session.

3. Healthy Routine: Make sure your child gets a good night's sleep before the session and has a healthy breakfast in the morning. Being well-rested and nourished will help them stay focused and energised.

4. Stay Calm and Supportive: Your calm and supportive attitude can greatly influence your child's feelings about the session. Reassure them that it's okay to feel a bit nervous and that everyone is there to help them succeed.

5. Follow Up: After the session, take some time to talk with your child about their experience. Ask them what they enjoyed and if they have any concerns. This can help you address any lingering worries and reinforce the positive aspects of the day.

By taking these steps, you can help your child feel more comfortable and excited about their transition into the 2025 school year.

Feeling Safe Survey

Attention parents and carers! We need your help to make our community safer for our children and young people! Please encourage your children and young people (aged 8-18 years old) to complete our quick Feeling Safe Survey about safety in services and activities they are part of. Their voices matter and together we can create a safer community for everyone!

The information we collect will guide the ongoing work of our ACT Children and Young People Commissioner, Jodie Griffiths-Cook, and help her identify opportunities for improving safety in our community. For young children, please take the opportunity to sit with them and complete the survey together.
