Social-Emotional Learning

We have talked before about safe friends, good friends and potential friends but when you consider that most conflict takes place between the friends who are playing together, it’s worth approaching the subject again.  We have been discussing this of late.  It would be great if you could talk to your child about who they consider their safe friends (friends you can trust), good friends (friends that need boundaries) and potential friends (friends that need strong boundaries).  If your child can articulate this, they are in control of their friendship circle to a large degree.

Booklists and Student Resource Scheme
Craigslea, like many schools, is a booklist and Student Resource Scheme (SRS) school.  2022 Booklists have already been sent home but you can also find them on the school website.

Parents will be invoiced for the SRS on day 1 of the new year.  Parents who wish to opt out will need to complete a form (even if done in previous years).  Opting out requires that parents purchase the SRS resources themselves.  Please note that this is a more expensive way of purchasing the resources.

World Teachers’ Day: 28 October and Tuckshop and Cleaners' Day: 5 November
Over the next two weeks, we will be celebrating the important work that our teachers, cleaners and tuckshop staff do for the children in our school.  We can vouch that every day, staff go above and beyond, in big and little ways, to help a child.  You may hear of these acts of ‘love’ and you may not.  Gifts are unnecessary but words can evoke a real sense of achievement and appreciation for what they do. 

Families who may wish to write a message are welcome to submit it to the office, email directly to the staff member or send via the form attached to this link  Please click here.
