Dear Parents/Guardians,
This week’s Parent–Teacher Interviews provided a valuable opportunity to connect with families and celebrate the growth and progress of our students. These conversations are an important reminder that the strongest outcomes for children are achieved when home and school work together. Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support in your child’s learning journey.
As part of our Formation focus this term, Junior School assemblies will begin exploring the Superflex program. Through a range of engaging characters, students will learn how different ways of thinking can influence their learning, relationships and responses to challenges. This shared language helps students to build skills in empathy, resilience, problem-solving and positive decision-making that support success both in and beyond the classroom.
I encourage you to ask your children about the Superflex characters at home and continue these conversations together, helping reinforce the strategies and learning beyond the classroom. Start with Superflex and Rock Brain.
Term 3 - Parent Unit Overviews
