"Supporting students with medical, developmental 

or psychological conditions at school!"

The Department of Education and Communities presents their new website: Welcome to Physical as anything.com.
This new website contains both medical and educational information on more than 50 medical, developmental and psychological conditions.

There is a special  Parents and carers section:

Familles play a major role in their child’s learning at school. Parents, carers and families can easily find:

"Children learn best when parents and carers and teachers work together.

• Working together can increase the level of students’ participation and engagement in learning.

What a difference a school library makes!

I recommend you take the time to visit The Australian Library and Information Association and Australian School Library Association wiki: What a difference a school library makes? ALIA and ASLA created this wiki to enable parents, students, teachers, and everyone else who is concerned about the state of school libraries, to find out more information about this highly topical issue and to join in the discussion.

"The role of the school library and teacher librarians is more about creating a culture that values the written word as a meaningful, fulfilling and inclusive social tool and means for human development, than it is simply about providing a conduit to books per se. They are a necessary ingredient for developing healthy, well-rounded minds and should be embraced by communities of forward thinking people everywhere." Archie Fusillo.

On the wiki ASLA and ALIA present: Checklist for Parents 

How good is your child's school?

Kids' who read, succeed!!!
