Flood Anniversary
Headspace National has provided information sheets to shared with communities. Understanding each family's recovery path can help staff to support student learning and wellbeing outcomes.
The Catholic Schools Office has collaborated with NSW ParentLine to develop a parent fact sheet with information specific to the experiences of our families such as how to respond to questions such as 'Will it flood again?' and recognising and supporting anxiety-based behaviour triggered by the rain.
