2024 has seen a concerted effort to connect parents with opportunities to learn along side their children and their children’s teachers. This term we were very pleased to offer two such opportunities with Interrelate and Susan McLean. Our parent and student information evenings with Interrelate for Years 3-6 called “Tricky Talks”, have taken on legendary status here at the College for the calm, no-nonsense way their presenters introduce and explain the most significant of topics: puberty, reproduction, consent, and personal safety. So many parents and students joined us for this terrific experience in the Batty Hall – among the nervous moments there was lots of laughter and learning for everyone who attended. We were also lucky to have Susan McLean, world- renowned expert of cybersafety present to parents about keeping children safe online. Susan’s knowledgeable and straightforward style helped students, staff and parents understand the dangers associated with life online and provided clear and practical ways to protect our children and keep them safe. In Term 3 we will welcome Glen Gerreyn, director and co-founder of the Hopefull Institute who has presented to over a million people around the world encouraging students, parents, teachers, and community leaders to navigate their life journeys with courage, clarity, and conviction. Stay tuned for an invitation to join Glen at a session for parents at the start of Term 3. As we look ahead to Term 2 and beyond, staff at Bishop Tyrrell Anglican College will continue to nurture strong partnerships, serve our community, and celebrate diversity just as we have done in Term 1. Thank you to every member of our school community for a terrific term, and here’s to an exciting and action- packed Term 2.
