21.01.2022 Today is Suicide Prevention Day. A reminder to check in with those around you, R U Ok? For tips and ideas on having meaningful conversations that could make a huge difference to our loved ones, visit: https://www.ruok.org.au... Also, for reflection on the loss and ongoing impact on people who have lost a loved one to suicide, David Whyte has some interesting writing: "There is always a great, puzzling, and suffering absence amongst the loved ones left behind by this ultimate act of self-harm, and a difficulty in knowing what to say, either amongst the bereaved or at the memorial service itself: this poem was written to give voice to many of the unspoken intuitions we have when we are suddenly, and against our will forced to say a far too early goodbye to a friend or loved one." DW To read his poem go to https://www.facebook.com/PoetDavidWhyte/posts/4988158154543481

12.01.2022 A workshop on homeschoolong will be held in the Church Gallery at the Margaret River Community Centre this weekend. Contact Annie for further details. I have been homeschooling for 7 years. I have 3 children 5-9-11. They are bilingual, love maths and read everything they can put their hands on. Surprisingly, I haven't taught them much in the traditional sense of teaching. 90% of their learning has happened because they follow their own interests. I have put together THE workshop I needed to attend when I started homeschooling. I'm going to squeeze every bit of information/support I can in this 90 minute session. This is for long term homeschooling/lifeschooling, newbies and wannabes. Bring your questions: Nothing is off limits!!! https://www.facebook.com/events/635546550439019/
