Children’s University

27 May – 3 June is National Reconciliation Week and Children’s University has some activities for you to get involved in. These suggested activities do depending on your age so it will be easiest for you to find the right one through the portal. Log in to the portal, click on CU Online in the top menu bar, click the Monthly Challenge topic and then scroll down to see the activities. There are more than just the national reconciliation week activities, so maybe look at what else catches your interest and do both!

The next passport stamping session will be Tuesday 13 June before school in the Primary Forum.

Parent Series – Cultivating Resilience

We invite you to attend the first lecture of our new Parent Series presented by Dr Mandie Shean – “Cultivating Resilience”.

“My experience has taught me to focus on the community around the child rather than the child. We spend so much time trying to fix the child when we really need to fix the toxic environment they are in and then I usually see them flourish.”

Dr Mandie Shean is a teacher and registered psychologist who has featured on The Project, the ABC, Channel 9, Triple J and Radio National. Dr Shean spent twenty years as a Primary School Teacher, three years as a School Psychologist and the past 10 years lecturing at Edith Cowan University whilst pursuing her research. In between, she has worked as a school chaplain and a children’s pastor. As a Consultant Psychologist, Dr Shean has been engaged by the Department of Education and Training, as well as the Catholic Education Office to implement and evaluate student programs dealing with mental health and wellness.

Dr Shean’s research has focused on increasing student wellbeing through the development of resilience and creating strong community bonds. Her lecture will provide practical tools for you to assist your child in overcoming stressful situations and challenges.
