School Council Parent Presentation on Thursday June 5 at 6:30pm in the Main Gym
The Parent council is happy to organize a session for our amazing parent community to be more connected to their students, We will also have a raffle draw for the parents at the session for $100 for the KEG. The draw will be made at the end of the session. Please join us for a great session with Ms. Bogle.
'Mom of three and Registered Psychologist Stephanie Bogle invites you to join us for an engaging and thoughtful conversation about parenting in today’s world — one filled with both opportunity and overwhelming noise.
This 1-hour session is designed to offer encouragement, insight, and practical strategies to help you parent from a place of clarity, confidence, and connection — not comparison!
A few of the topics we’ll explore include:
- Healthy Boundaries
What boundaries really are (and aren’t), why they matter, and how to set them with calm, respectful authority. - The Empowered “No”
Why saying “no” is an act of love — and how to do it without guilt or power struggles. - Shame & Self-Compassion
How shame (often unintentional) affects our children — and how we can shift toward parenting that empowers instead of wounds. - Social Media & Parenting Pressure
We’ll unpack the unrealistic parenting ideals we absorb online — and how to filter out the noise so you can stay true to your values. - Finding Your Authentic Style
There’s no one “right way” to parent. We’ll help you reflect on your own values and build a parenting approach that feels grounded and true to you.
We hope you leave feeling reassured, informed, and inspired to trust your own path.'
