Gross Busters
There is great excitement in the Junior School as we prepare for our biennial production ‘Gross Busters – The Monster Musical’. These performances, on Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 September, always sell out quickly so book now to avoid disappointment. https://www.trybooking.com/DOXHP
A Focus on Wellbeing
Throughout the year, we arrange wellbeing sessions for students to help them deal with the vicissitudes of life. We see this as part of a holistic education and our responsibility to the young people in our care.
On Tuesday, 8 September, Senior School students will attend a session presented by an organisation called SmackTalk (Learn more here). The presentation will encourage our students to reach out for help if they are struggling and explain how to respond if one of their friends is dealing with a crisis in their life.
This presentation will deal with some confronting material, so we will ensure that there are staff available to support the students during these presentations.
‘Hands-On’ Cyber Safety Workshop for Families in Year 3-6
We will also host a workshop for students and families in Year 3-6 covering:
- Learn how AI is shaping children’s digital lives.
- Start to build healthy digital habits and screen time balance.
- Navigate online conflict and know where to get help.
- Set up parental controls, privacy settings and AI-aware conversations.
- Create a safe digital environment at home.
This workshop will offer ‘hands-on’ interaction for students and parents/carers, led by our partners at Cyber Safety Project.
