The Pastoral Team and Parents of Loreto are thrilled to be welcoming Dr Judith Locke to Loreto College Coorparoo in July.
This two hour session details practical strategies for parents and carers of children who are tweens or teens, to encourage their child’s confidence, resilience, and self-regulation in their schooling and schoolwork, and work toward maintaining harmony in the home in the teen years. It will focus specifically on children’s screen use, behaviour management and routines. There will be time for a short Q & A session at the end. Judith recommends this session for parents and carers of students in Years 7 - 12, however, if your child is in the Primary years, you may still find this is pertinent for you.
When: Thursday 31 July 2025, 6.00pm - 8.00pm
Where: Loreto College Coorparoo, room TBC
Who: All Loreto College Coorparoo and Villanova College parents and carers are invited (the session is recommended for parents of teens). No students.
