FROM THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL & CLASSROOM SUPPORT

Exploring the Diverse Curriculum at Our School

At our school, we believe in nurturing well-rounded students through a rich and varied curriculum. From the wonders of Geography, where students explore the world’s landscapes and cultures, to the inquisitive nature of Science, encouraging curiosity and innovation. Our Visual Arts program inspires creativity and self-expression, while Music brings harmony and rhythm into our students’ lives. Each subject is designed to engage, challenge, and inspire, ensuring our students develop a broad spectrum of skills and knowledge. Join us as we delve into the exciting learning experiences that shape our students’ educational journey!

Supporting Parents with Screen Time

Signs that your child’s online activity may be having a negative impact on them or on your family include: 

  • less interest in social activities like meeting friends or playing sport
  • not doing so well at school
  • tiredness, sleep disturbance, headaches, eye strain 
  • changes in eating patterns
  • reduced personal hygiene
  • obsession with particular websites or games
  • extreme anger when being asked to take a break from online activity
  • appearing anxious or irritable when away from the computer
  • becoming withdrawn from friends and family

What to do if you are concerned - Ask questions and listen:

  • Some of the behavioural changes described above are a normal part of growing up but, if you are concerned your child is struggling, try to find out why — there may be underlying issues such as cyberbullying, friendship difficulties or mental health issues. 
  • As part of your conversation, ask your child about how much time they spend online and explain why it is worrying and what they could be missing out on. 
  • Try not to show that you disapprove or they might shut down communication altogether. 
  • Talking to your child’s school may also reveal academic or social issues, and the school may also be able to provide support.
