Dear Parents,

URStrong

Places are still available at the discounted rate for the URStrong Friendology workshop on Open Night. This skills-based program teaches students how to put a voice to their feelings, create healthy friendships, make healthy choices within their friendships, stand up for themselves and build a solid foundation for future relationships. Along with learning what’s normal in a friendship and the difference between healthy and unhealthy friendships, students also learn strategies for putting out common Friendship Fires™ (conflict-resolution) and how to combat mean-on-purpose behaviour. If you have any concerns about any friendship issues your child may experience at school it is vital that you attend. During this session you can become familiar with the concepts and language of this important program and work with your child to learn strategies that you can support your child with at home. The link to register is: https://urstrong.com/events/?location=Perth%2C+WA%2C+Australia .
Tickets are $25 per person (students and parents both purchase a ticket), and the P&F have kindly agreed to provide a 50% discount for the first 100 tickets purchased. Use the promo code STMICHAELS to receive 50% off per ticket.

Please see below for the workshop that’s right for you and your children:
• Language of Friendship Jr (Grades 1 & 2 + Parents): 4:00 to 5:30pm
• Language of Friendship (Grades 3-6 +Parents): 6:00 to 7:30pm
I strongly encourage you to take the time to engage in a workshop with your child/ren to support them in developing these essential life skills.

CEWA Marketing Campaign

We are excited to present the Catholic Education Western Australia 2018 campaign! The messaging highlights the benefits of Catholic education around our beautiful state. It promotes our community’s calling to provide a quality, Christ-centred education while being focused on each individual child. This coincides with the launch of a new CEWA website:

Their future. Our calling. This is the CEWA difference.

God Bless
