Help your child become confident and capable

We are excited to announce that Clinical Psychologist, Dr Judith Locke, is returning to St Mary’s to offer a parenting session to parents of students in ELC - Year 6. In this session, Judith uses latest research and clinical experience to show practical, positive, and effective strategies parents can use to help their children become more resilient and motivated at school and in their schoolwork, help them build on their strengths, and assist them to cope with the developmental changes of different ages and stages while maintaining family harmony.

This 100 minute session will be offered on Thursday 8th August from 6.00pm to 7.30pm, followed by refreshments.

This session is for parents only and children will not be able to attend.

Please RSVP by 25 July 2024.
