On Tuesday, 19th of May, a small group of Sts Peter and Paul Students began participating in the Seasons for Growth Program. 

Please keep these students in your thoughts and prayers as they journey through the Seasons for Growth program, exploring the impact of change and loss on every-day life and learning new ways to respond to these changes.

Transition Back to School

If you find that your child is experiencing some difficulties transitioning back to the routine of school, here are some ideas to assist your child with the transition:

• Be guided by your child as to their needs
• Be open to having conversations and listen to their concerns
• Talk to them in order to start preparing them for the change
• Use a calendar to count down the days
• Stick to a routine
• Focus on what you are doing to stay safe, it helps the children to feel like they have some control over the situation.
• Read stories about going to school
• Look after yourself!
