Drop and Go Zone – Heal Street

I would like to reinforce our Drop and Go Zone in Heal Street.  Police have been patrolling the area and have made particular reference to the “All Traffic Must Turn Left” sign from 8 to 9am and 2.30 to 3.30pm on school days.  They have booked cars wanting to either turn right into James Street and onto the pedestrian crossing or drive straight ahead through James Street.  This is a very busy area at drop off and pick up times and I strongly suggest that you allow additional time to avoid any stress. 

Please note the photos below of the signage in Heal and James Streets.  I thank you in advance for your co-operation and keeping our students safe.

Disciplining your sensitive child

Disciplining sensitive kids is usually never straightforward. Sensitive kids, those creative, empathetic types who generally wear their hearts on their sleeve and take even the slightest criticism personally need to be handled with care.

It’s tempting to let sensitive kids do as they like, for fear of denting their self-esteem. But this approach does kids no favours as these children need firm boundaries to help them feel safe. 

In this article Parenting Ideas founder Michael Grose discusses the discipline methods to use and avoid when raising kids who wear their hearts on their sleeve.
