Headspace in Schools Visit

Headspace will be visiting our Grade 6 classes on November 15th 2022 to deliver a workshop aimed at helping students understand how the transition to high school may impact their mental health. It will explore how they can manage stress from change, build resilience and healthy coping skills, as well as strengthen their sense of connection and belonging. 

A parent and carer session will also be offered on November 15th at 5:00pm at St Saviour’s Primary School. The parent workshop will upskill on how to connect and communicate with your young person, increase knowledge about how to support them during this transition period, and where to access professional support.  

If you’d like to attend the Parent and Carer workshop, please indicate your interest via the following form: https://forms.office.com/r/n5SBCNC8hR
