Dear families,

Raising Healthy Minds
The Raising Healthy Minds app is a free, personalised, pocket resource to help parents and carers raise confident, resilient children. Co-designed with parents and experts and funded by the Australian Government, Raising Healthy Minds aims to support children’s social and emotional wellbeing with evidence-based information.  

You’ll find information on topics like dealing with worries and making friends, as well as ideas for day-to-day life, like creating family routines, looking after yourself as a parent, and building strong relationships.  

The app offers a mix of quick-read articles, videos and animations aimed at parents and carers of children aged 0-12 years. You can tailor information to the age of your child and opt-in to receive helpful tips.  

Raising Healthy Minds provides simple-to-use information at your fingertips with clear actions you can start today.

Young Environmental Leaders
On Tuesday 5 August, I took our Sustainability Leaders to Happy Valley Primary School and the Happy Valley Reservoir as part of the Young Environmental Leaders Program. At Happy Valley Primary, we explored their impressive kitchen garden, admired their vegetable beds, visited the chook sheds, and saw their cooking area.

Later, SA Water guided us on a tour of the reservoir, answering questions from both students and adults. It was a great day of learning and inspiration. Our group has returned full of ideas and is continuing to work on their Bokashi Bin project within our school. Thank you to Bonnie for assisting on the day!

The school is looking particularly clean!
Many Receptions from Mrs King’s class are taking Sustainability very seriously! They have been caring for our school grounds by regularly using buckets and tongs to pick up rubbish at recess and lunch. Well done to these diligent Receptions, who are showing that even our youngest students can teach the older ones many important lessons about looking after our earth.

In all things love,

Rachel Baulderstone
