An area we want to focus on this year is to support our students to better deal with minor issues in a manner that it does lead to anxiety or 'toxic stress'.

There have been several occasions when a student may have left a form at home, or swimming togs, or even computer. Their immediate response is...."Can I please phone mum/dad to bring my bag/book/device/etc to school?"

And these calls are becoming more often, causing obvious stress for some students if the device/togs/etc are not brought to school.

We will no longer be making calls home should something be left at home or in the car. Our staff are aware of this and will support our students through the process as needed. The student will certainly not get into trouble from any staff member. 

If it has been left behind..."That's okay...you can bring it tomorrow."
