Being a parent is one of life’s greatest joys, but it is also one of its biggest challenges. There’s hardly a mum or dad on the face of the earth who, at times, is not overawed by the task of parenting, which is why we're proud to announce Parentalk courses covering the Primary Years and the Teenage Years.
Led by Primary Counsellor Ms Alison and Secondary Counsellor Mr Dave, these Parentalk courses will give parents time to talk about the day-to-day challenges they face, as well as sharing the things that are going well.
They will be held every Friday from 27 April - 25 May, 8am-10.30am, in The Hub Boardroom. The cost is US$10 per person for the whole course, and there is a maximum of 16 participants for each course (Primary Years and the Teenage Years).
Over six sessions, Parentalk looks at valuable principles that can be applied on a day-to-day basis with children and teenagers. It is ideal for people who have not taken part in any kind of parenting course before (as well as for those who have) and for any group of parents who want to meet informally.
So come and join us in a relaxed and fun setting where we can learn together to become even better parents. There are no experts, we cannot be the perfect parent but we can all be great parents!

Metacognition is the process of thinking about one’s own thinking. It involves reflecting on how you come to conclusions, understanding why you think the way you do, and recognizing patterns in your thought processes. By developing an awareness of your thinking, you can learn to reduce cognitive biases or identify and reuse effective thought processes in different situations. Essentially, metacognition helps people become more intentional and effective in their actions and decision-making.
