Could our new wellbeing program help your child?

With almost 500 students on campus, we see many students struggle with, and overcome a range of social, emotional and mental health challenges.

Some are big, some (at least on reflection) no so big – but all are important to them, to you and to us.

Our chaplaincy, wellbeing and counselling teams are always here to help. In Term 3 we are launching a new program designed to help students struggling with a range of challenges often labelled as ‘anxiety’.

If you could answer ‘yes’ to any of the questions below then this program could be for your child:

- Does your child display anxious behaviours or tendencies?

- Does your child struggle with anger or showing disrespect?

- Is your child refusing or reluctant to go to school, or engage with their learning?

- Does your child have regular emotional our bursts?

Starting in Term 3, Ali (our school counsellor) will be offering a tailor-made, 5-week, one-on-one program for students who you might say, ‘’Yes!” about to the questions above.

Whether your child has spent time with Ali in the past or not doesn’t matter. You may feel that these issues aren’t serious, but a bit of time helping them develop good thinking habits and coping skills could stop them becoming a big problem later on.

If you think your child could benefit from this program, please email bradenblyde@ppn.sa.edu.au to register your interest, and Mr Blyde will be in contact with you.

Thank you for the care you have for the students at PPN. It means a lot.
