18.01.2022 Remember, every day counts. There is no safe number of days for missing school - each day a student misses puts them behind, and can affect their educational outcomes and social connectedness. Talk positively about school and attendance with students. If you have any concerns about your child’s attendance please contact their teacher or the school. At Pakenham Hills we want to work in partnership with parents and carers to support student attendance and wellbeing

16.01.2022 Dear parents and carers, There are two helpful new resources to help you support your children during remote and flexible learning. Raising Learners podcast... The Department of Education and Training has funded a 10-episode podcast series through the Raising Children Network called ‘Raising Learners’. It features parenting experts from organisations including the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, Career Education Association Victoria, as well as the Australian eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman-Grant. Raising Learners provides parents with practical advice, tips and ideas for supporting children’s health, wellbeing and engagement at school and at home. Topics include how to connect with your child’s school and community, how to best support your child’s learning, what to expect for VCE and VCAL students and how to keep your child safe online. These topics were drawn from common questions that parents raised with the Department’s coronavirus (COVID-19) hotline and Parentline. The first three episodes will be available on 1 September, and the rest throughout terms 3 and 4. Raising Learners can be accessed via podcast apps and Raising Children Network website.
