Friends in classes

At the beginning of every year when we change classes, children can come home upset or emotional because they didn't get a particular friend in their class and they feel they do not know anyone. This is ok and a perfectly normal emotional response, however, an experience in life that provides an opportunity for children to develop their social skills and resilience. 

If your child has come home upset and feeling emotional like this, talk to your child. Spend some time with them to help them understand, it will be ok. Talk with them about actions they could take to build new friendships, remind them that they will still see their friends in the playground and be able to connect with them at other times in the day or weekends. Coping with change, developing friends and building social skills is a life long skill. Helping our children to understand learn from this will provide them with skills they will transfer into daily interactions in their life. Contacting the school on their behalf and asking to swap classes to be with their friends does not help them build life skills.

Updating your contact details

It is extremely important that we have correct family contact details, including emergency contacts on file. If any of your details have changed, ie phone, email, address, please contact the office through the SZapp 'contact us' and we Will update  our system.
