Parent Club

Connect, Share, and Learn Together

Raising children is a rewarding journey, but it naturally comes with its fair share of challenges. Our Parent Club / Coffee Club is a welcoming, safe space designed specifically for our school community to come together, connect over a tea or coffee, and share the unique stories, experiences, and successes of parenting.

A Supportive Peer Community
The greatest benefit parents have noted about Parent Club is the opportunity to talk openly through daily challenges. It is a fantastic environment to learn from the practical strategies of other parents who are navigating, or have already navigated, similar experiences with their kids.

Expert Guidance and Parent Workshops
To ensure you receive the best support possible, these sessions are supported and facilitated by our dedicated team, including our EAL/D Coordinator, School Psychologist, and School Chaplain.

Alongside our informal chats, our School Psychologist runs targeted parent workshops tailored directly to the needs of our community. We provide practical information and resources covering a wide range of topics that have been specifically raised or requested by parents.

Where/When:

We meet twice a term in the staff room (in the main admin building) where the atmosphere is relaxed, inclusive, and supportive.
Notifcations go out via compass for Parent Club dates and specific workshop topics.

We can’t wait to see you at our next session!

Flipping the Lid: Understanding Your Child’s Brain

Insights and strategies to navigate big feelings together.

Read more about this session…
Do your child’s emotions ever seem to go from 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye? Do you ever get exhausted from navigating sudden meltdowns, emotional overload, or moments where your child completely shuts down? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed trying to help them calm down, or wonder what is actually going on in their head? We hear about needing and wanting kids to be more resilient, to regulate… but what does this even look like? How do we build resilience?

You are definitely not the only parents navigating this. When children experience these intense feelings, it is a biological response from a nervous system trying to help them feel safe. This session offers a warm, science-backed, and neuro-affirming look ‘under the hood’ of your child’s brain.
