Get ready to experience a powerfully insightful workshop by one of Oceania's foremost parenting and wellbeing experts, Darren Pereira.

On Wednesday 27 March, Darren will present to two separate year groups during the school day before offering a parent presentation at 7.00pm in the Auditoirum in the School. 

Last year we had a capacity crowd attend this highly successful and informative parent presentation and have felt compelled to bring Darren back to support our community. This event is limited to Year 9 parents only.  There is no cost to attend but we need to ensure we do not breach capacity of the school Auditorium.

We would encourage Year 9 parents to attend the evening session where Darren will cover a variety of topics which will support parenting a teenager. We have asked him to deliver a toolkit for parents to support their teenager.

This will include:
 

• developing resilience in your child, becoming adaptive & dealing with their current challenges
• using evidence-based, positive psychology interventions & cognitive behavioural techniques to sustainably manage depression & deal with negative thinking
• rectifying poor sleep habits exacerbating mental health issues
• dealing with disappointment, setbacks & failure
