Welcome back to Term 3. This term will be a full and demanding term for students and parents alike, with the School Musical, assessments and examinations.
Our Term 3 Parent Seminar “Body Confident Children and Teens” is on Monday 11th September 2023 6.00pm – 7.30pm ( Week 7) presented by the Butterfly Foundation.
With so many confusing messages around weight and shape and with many adults struggling with their own body image it can be difficult for parents to know how best to support their child as they move through adolescence. This relaxed and informative seminar for carers of primary and secondary age children gives practical tips to help you better understand and promote positive body image in the home.

As we gear up for the upcoming high school examination period, we understand that it can be a bit overwhelming for both students and their families. Being prepared as parents/caregivers to support your child in coping with the emotional stresses of exams helps prepare them for success both during their school years and beyond. Your involvement is like a secret ingredient for their resilience and success.
Year 12 students are sitting their Trial HSC Examinations next week and later in the term Year 10 and 11 will be completing their yearly examinations. Please pray for these students as they prepare and sit their final school assessments.
Students in their final year of school are considered a high-risk group for depression and anxiety. Sleep deprivation, diet and social media are some of the biggest issues faced by this group of teens. Therefore it is vital that a student’s mental health is looked after as well as their physical health.
Keeping things in perspective for students and parents alike, can help prevent everyone getting overwhelmed. Although this final year is important, it will not be the most important year of your child’s life.
There are many strategies that students can implement to help themselves. Parents can provide support, not only emotionally, but also practically by keeping their child well-nourished and encouraging physical activity.
In the report below, you will find useful tips to support your child during this often stressful time.
We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered in this special report, and as always, we welcome your feedback.
If you do have any concerns about the wellbeing of your child, please contact the school for further information or seek medical or professional help.
Kindest regards,
Mr Anthony Hudson
High School Deputy Principal
