‘Thrive @Matravers’ is for you as parents/carers and will contain information, contacts and advice about key issues. Each newsletter will have three sections:
‘Keep Safe’ – with so many challenges out there that we need to help our young people navigate, there are some key issues which need our attention to ensure that we keep them safe.
It is important that we continue to
work in partnership with you in making this happen. This section will contain really useful information to help us do this, so please have a read.
‘What to do if…’ – there is a lot of advice and support out there which is available for young people and also you as parents. Each issue will focus on a different issue and information about the organisations out there who may be able to help.
‘Hot Topic’ – with exam season looming the Hot Topic for this term is “Exam Stress” and we will be looking at different themes in each newsletter.
If there is something you would like us to cover, please get in touch.
The information included on these pages of the newsletter can be found in the ‘Thrive @Matravers’ section on our website. There is also further information for you on these pages.
