PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
URStrong Parent Evening
We are excited to be hosting URSTRONG, an internationally recognized Social Emotional Wellbeing program, that empowers children with the skills, language and self-confidence to be better friends and develop healthier relationships. To learn more about URSTRONG I would encourage you to visits their web site (www.urstrong.com) where they have a number of free resources for parents.
We invite all students from Years 1 & 2 and their parents and Kindergarten (parents only), to come along on the 7th of August at 6.30pm, for a URSTRONG Language of Friendship Junior Parent-Child Workshop. And we invite all students from Years 3 to 6 and their parents to join us at 6.30pm on the 14th of August, for a URSTRONG Language of Friendship Parent-Child Workshop. See posters attached to this weeks Newsflash for more information. The cost of the first 100 tickets for each event are being generously subsidised by the Artarmon Public School P&C!
This is a valuable opportunity for all family members to learn more about how to manage emotions and relationships.
I highly recommend this event to our school community.
