School TV – Wellbeing resource on SFX Website

From the Assistant Principal Student Wellbeing, Mr Martin Mullin

Dear parents and carers,

I’d like to alert you to an excellent resource that the College has been making available to parents for the past few years—School TV: https://sfx.act.schooltv.me

School TV came about as a result of 18 months of research and collaboration among over 40 major organisations that work with young people, many of whom we at the college utilise ourselves in various capacities. The impetus behind this was a 2017 Mission Australia Youth Survey that showed an alarming decline in the emotional, physical and mental health of young people, combined with a significant percentage of parents who expressed a concern that they didn’t feel adequately informed.

We know that there is a wealth of information available to parents and caregivers of young people; however, many express that they still feel a need for effective strategies to deal with behaviours or situations or affirmation that the strategies they are employing are sound.

School TV provides an excellent source of easily accessible information, usually in short video clips on particular topics. I urge you to find a few spare minutes, click on a link to a topic that interests you and judge for yourself the information or advice. I’d love any feedback.
