Parent workshops. Program success for our children

By MsAlgar.

22 Feb: We still need two or three parents to coordinate ‘manage’ a session.  It will involve settling on a date and collecting RSVPs. On the day there will be some simple catering – putting out glasses, turning on the urn, plating the cake and fruit.  That’s it – a nice way to meet people. 6 Feb: It is encouraging to see so many families responding to this survey – thank you.  The results showed that the main topic of interest to parents is the You Can Do It Program so this will be the first workshop. I would like … Continue reading Parent workshops. Program success for our children
