Hello readers,
I’m working from home today instead of my usual locations in Wantirna and Knox, and it’s exciting to see the school year starting back again. I wanted to take a moment to appreciate all the hard work parents have put in over the school holidays. The outings, the sports games, the driving around, and everything else that keeps families busy during the break.
I also want to wish every student a happy and successful school year. Whether you’re starting primary school, high school, or somewhere in between, I hope the year ahead is full of growth, confidence, and good experiences. I’ve looked into a few ideas that can help make things easier.
For students, having one dedicated place to study can make a big difference. Setting up your space the way you like it, using sticky notes to stay organized, taking small breaks when you need them, and celebrating your little wins all help keep you motivated. Packing your bag the night before can also make your mornings feel calmer and more relaxed.
For parents, keeping a family calendar can make the weekly juggle a lot smoother. A quick five minute check in each week is a simple way to see how school is going and to stay connected. It’s also important to look after yourself even small moments of self care during the week can help you recharge. A good night time routine and planning for the next day before bed can make mornings feel much more manageable.
Thanks for reading my blog best of luck for the new school year.
Welcome back to school
