Pastoral Care

The end of the Term is a valuable time for students to engage in social activities, collaborate on group projects, and enjoy meaningful interactions with peers and teachers. Attending school during this period helps your teen build stronger relationships and fosters a deeper connection to their school community.
 
Each day your teen attends school, they’re shaping their future success.

Take a Stand Against Vaping 
Whether you suspect your child is vaping or not, take the time to talk to them about it and help them understand all of the risks. It is never too late to have the conversation.
 
Watch this short clip by Professor Adam Jaffé, Paediatric Respiratory Consultant at Sydney Children’s Hospital and Head of Paediatrics at the University of New South Wales.

Start the conversation with your child in a relaxed, easy-going way, perhaps using a cue from around you, such as this message from school, a news story about vaping, or seeing people vaping on the street.

If your child is vaping, encourage them to stop, let them know that help is available and you are there for them. Help them to explore other ways to fit in with their peers, but also give the message that it is important to think and act independently.
