Supporting Our Teens:
Parent Workshops for Child Protection Week
As we approach Child Protection Week, we're excited to announce a series of vital parent workshops in collaboration with Catholic Care. These workshops are designed to equip parents and carers with the tools they need to support their teens in today’s complex world.
Topics include:
- Social Media and Your Teen: Understand the impact of social media on your teen's life and learn strategies to guide them safely. (Magdalene Catholic College)
- Managing Big Emotions for Teens: Gain insights into helping your teen navigate their emotions, fostering resilience and emotional well-being. (St Benedicts Catholic College)
- How to Have Tricky Conversations and Seek Help: Learn effective communication techniques for those difficult but necessary conversations with your teen, and know where to turn for additional support. (Mount Carmel Catholic College)
We are pleased to partner with our neighbouring Catholic Colleges for these presentations, which will be held at the following locations:
- 2 September at Magdalene Catholic College
- 4 September at St Benedict's Catholic College
- 9 September at Mount Carmel Catholic College
Each session will run from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, offering valuable insights within a convenient timeframe.
We encourage all parents and carers to attend these sessions in support of Child Protection Week and the ongoing wellbeing of our teens. Your participation is key to fostering a supportive environment where our young people can thrive.
We look forward to seeing you there! Please register via the links.
TECHNOLOGY UPDATE
In the interest of keeping our students safe and responsible online, next week, students will need to rename their laptops according to a standardised naming convention designed to enhance the College's network security and safeguard devices on public networks.
Students will receive the new device name via email on Monday. They must update their laptop names by Friday, 30 August.
Starting Monday 2 September, if any device is found on the network with the wrong name, it will be disconnected from the network until the correct name is applied.
As always, thank you very much for your ongoing support. Should you require any assistance with your son or daughter’s learning or wellbeing, please do not hesitate to contact the College or the appropriate Classroom Teacher, Pastoral Advisor or Year Coordinator.
