According to adolescent psychologist, Andrew Fuller, resiliency is the happy knack of being able to bungy
jump through the pitfalls of life.
The resilient child has:
 Social competence
 Problem-solving skills
 Autonomy
 A sense of purpose and future
Chris’ presentation provides practical strategies to assist parents to help their children develop these characteristics
This highly interactive and engaging presentation will provide an overview of the recent research in the area of
resilience. It will provide an opportunity to identify and learn about the positive factors that build resilience. It will
enable parents to consider ways of increasing and maximizing the protective factors for children and adolescents.
Chris is a highly sought after, dynamic and engaging presenter. She is a Training & Development Consultant with a
background in teaching and social work. She is currently actively involved in the tertiary sector, teaching students in
the Bachelor of Social Work and the Graduate Diploma of Student Welfare at Melbourne University.
Childcare will be available for those who need it during the session for a small fee
(children must be over 4 years or older) Booking is imperative as this can only be provided
if there is enough demand.

LOST PROPERTY
URGENT HELP FOR NEPAL
Given the blast of winter weather lost property is
now overflowing with jumpers and jackets which get
shed as children warm up during the day. It seems
that given the sudden cold snap that many families
have not had a chance to label their winter clothing.
Please either use an iron-on label or alternately a pen
or better still laundry marker to write your child's
name on the label. All labelled items are returned
through the front office to their owners.
Thanks to all those who have contributed to the
collection of items for Nepal. A container of items
The Lost Property team
has already been delivered and distributed.
Any further donations are required by
Friday 8th
May, in order to meet the final scheduled departure
date.

PREP AND GRADE 1 BAGS NOW IN THE HALL NOT FOYER:
So that we can better supervise the younger children the Preps and
Grade 1 children must now leave their bags inside the hall NOT in the
foyer on hooks. We were finding that the younger children constantly
need to go to their bags and by having them in the hall we can
supervise them at all times. Grade 4, 5 and 6 children can now leave
their bags on the hooks in the foyer.
DON’T FORGET TO CHECK OUT OUR “WHATS ON BOARD AND EVALUATION DISPLAY” AND

Wednesday 27th May at 11am children across the country will be enjoying the same book in
the 15th Annual National Simultaneous Storytime. This event aims to encourage more young
Australians to read and enjoy books as well as promoting the value of literacy using an
Australian children’s book. In 2015 the book is The Brothers Quibble by Aaron Blabey.
Yarra libraries is very excited to be involved in this wonderful event by hosting a storytime in
the Darling Gardens from 10:30am – 11:30am including of course the reading of The
Brothers Quibble at exactly 11am.
We would love it if your younger classes could join us for this event. We would be happy for
the children to bring a snack and enjoy their recess while listening to our fun and engaging
storytime.
Please RSVP your attendance to this event to either Lizzie or Bridget by Wednesday 20th
May. We hope you can join us.
Many thanks,
