A Resource to Support Modern-Day Parenting - SchoolTV

We know that being healthy and balanced has many benefits, including improving learning and setting young people up for more productive and successful futures. However, it’s never been more challenging for parents to raise happy, healthy and resilient children. Whilst there is a great deal of information available, it can often be confusing and overwhelming for parents looking for guidance.

Hume Anglican Grammar values the effort our families put into their children, and would like to assist by providing a streamlined resource. On the Wellbeing tab of our school website, you will find SchoolTV.

SchoolTV curates relevant, fact-based content from leading specialists and organisations into a single, easy to understand source of facts and strategies – like a one-stop shop on a single topic!

Some of the topics include:

• Youth Anxiety

• Cyberbullying
• Social Networking
• Self-harm and Suicide
• Resilience
• School Transitions
• Positive Parenting
