As part of school’s commitment to the wellbeing of our students, in Terms 3 and 4 students in Middle and Senior years are invited to participate in a unique anxiety treatment program: The Dungeons and Dragons (DND) Bravery Group!
Dungeons and Dragons (DND) is an opportunity for students to connect with other students, learn skills for being brave, and have fun! We also hope that by upskilling our students we are increasing their likelihood of returning to face to face settings, and/or increasing their feelings of social connectedness and wellbeing while they are with us at ľ¹ÏÓ°Ôº.
Please note that places for the DnD event are limited and will be assigned to families on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are interested in joining us, please have your parent/carer use the following link to register: (If you are over 18, you can complete this yourself!)
