Supporting Your Child Through School Challenges
Every child faces challenges at school, whether academic, social, or behavioural. As a parent, how you respond can make all the difference.
Start by asking open-ended questions like, “Why do you think this happened?” rather than jumping to conclusions. Listen more than you talk - sometimes, your child just needs to be heard. Also, take advantage of relaxed moments, like car rides or walks, where children often feel more comfortable opening up.
By fostering a supportive and reflective approach, you can help your child navigate difficulties and develop problem-solving skills that will benefit them for life.
South Sydney Rabbitohs Visit St Matthews
On Tuesday last week, our school had the privilege of welcoming the South Sydney Rabbitohs Cares Team, who delivered an inspiring session on respect and courage - especially when it comes to calling out bullying and racism.
Through powerful stories and engaging discussions, the team encouraged our students to stand up for what’s right, support one another, and create a culture of kindness both on and off the field.
Let’s keep working together to make our school a place where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected.
