Welcome

Every kid needs a champion - Rita Pierson

This TED talk is what is at the heart of being a teacher - we want to be your child's champion. This was the talk I shared with the staff at Boroondara Park PS on my first day as the principal. Rita is one of my heroes, she was indeed a champion for kids. Her focus on connections and relationships is the key for us all in this time of change. We are all experiencing new situations and experiences, at times uncomfortable but it is now that we need to work out how to make and keep our connections. In this time of uncertainty being a champion for our children is more important than ever. We have included this talk for you all to see the power of having a champion and the role that teaching can play in the life of a child.

As we move into this new world of remote learning we are all teaching our students and working as a team of parents and carers, students, teachers and education support staff. We will provide the learning program, your role is to support your child, making a space for them to learn and assisting as needed.

Teaching and learning should bring joy - we will help you to find the joy in learning with your children.

The aim of this site is to provide you with Wellbeing resources and information. It will be updated as regularly as we find new things to share.

Remember - Stay home. Protect our health system. Save lives.

Kind regards,
