Join us for Mount Alvernia and Padua College's first Parent Engagement evening for 2026.

Returning to the schools is Clinical Psychologist Judith Locke in a session covering "Essential questions to ask yourself to check that your child is on track".

The tween and teen years are often a tricky period to get right with children, as they might be becoming both more and less mature, their emotions are a little more up and down, they are glued to their screen, and their interests and personality might seem to change… from day to day! So how can you get through this period of change with positivity and success, and ensure that everyone still likes each other at the conclusion?

Clinical Psychologist, Dr Judith Locke, is returning to our schools to offer this session to parents of students at Mount Alvernia and Padua. In this session, Judith will use latest research and clinical experience to show practical, positive, and effective strategies parents can use to check on their child’s progress and help their tween and teen successfully get through the developmental changes of these different ages and stages while maintaining family harmony.
