The children at St Monica’s are now enhancing their social and emotional skills by participating in lessons from the You Can Do It! Program. The program contains lessons that teach attitudes, values, character strengths, social-emotional skills, successful relationships and well-being. The program has been recognised by the Australian Governments BeYou Mental Health and Wellbeing initiative as being a “best practise” program based on research of effectiveness.

As a school, we have subscribed to the YCDI! Positive Parent Online Program. The parent program has much to offer including:

• eLearning topics on positive and effective parenting
• motivational and inspirational audio eLearning series
• insight articles that present important information on parenting topics

Throughout the year we will feature some of these articles in the weekly newsletter, but they are available to you at any time with your family subscription. Parenting strengths to make a difference is an example of the articles you and your family can access.
