Acting Head of Primary
Mrs Amanda Rutlidge | Acting Head of Primary
Building resilience in children as parents can be tricky. We can be quick to step in when our children are experiencing conflict. As part of our UR Strong program we are teaching children how to navigate friendship fires and deal with conflict, and as a result become more resilient and capable of dealing with tricky relationships. When to Step-IN and when to Step-BACK has some helpful advice for parents when children are experiencing problems.
Another great resource for parents is Triple P Parenting, which has a range of free online parenting courses for parents of babies up to parents of teens.

Visit from Mrs Harris
At staff devotions we had a lovely visit from Mrs Amanda Harris, who taught at GPCC for 18 years in the Primary school. Amanda and her husband are living and serving in Kathmandu in Nepal. Amanda works as a school teacher and her husband, Greg teaches at a Bible College. It was wonderful to hear Amanda share with our staff about their work and ministry in Kathmandu, and that we can continue as a College community to pray for them.
