What skills would you want your children to have most as they greet the opportunities and challenges of life?

Studies have shown, that curiosity and grit are the two personal characteristics which are the most significant predictors of success in life; two critical traits that will make us grow into the people God is calling us to be. Furthermore, in these days of competing demands on our time and resources; the need to work through complex issues with our children, and the diversity of family structures, one of the most valuable skills we can have is that of resilience. 

In partnership with the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute; Tenison Woods College is developing a whole school community way of talking about, measuring and critiquing the resilience and wellbeing of our members. The project complements our current strong commitment to wellbeing and resilience through the variety of programs offered to students, families and staff, by giving us a common language and frame of reference through which to view the associated issues across our school community.

This year we are continuing our parent training course. 

The course will run for 5 consecutive weeks and a timing will be determined by the needs and availability of prospective participants.

Come along and learn some new skills, or refresh some old ones, in a friendly, non-threatening, social environment.
