Latex Free

School stocks Band-Aids that contain latex. If your child cannot tolerate latex please send in a box that is latex free labelled

with your child's name.

Peer Support Program Week 6

Our session this week in Make the Change: Stronger Together—our Peer Support module encourages students to identify

any behaviours or actions they feel are unhealthy in self and others. Skill building in identifying behaviours, inclusive prac-

tice and developing empathy assist students to transition into making positive decisions to change. This might be an oppor-

tunity for parents to remind your child about when they have handled change well and their skills they could use.

Peer Support Australia provides reading & resources specifically for parents www.peersupport.edu.au & use the parent tab.

Book Club Issue Update

We have just been informed that some technical issues were experienced with the Scholastic system for orders made from

Issue # 3, which has resulted in the delay of delivery. As soon as the books arrive they will be handed out to the children.
