If your child is starting at Deebing Heights State School (or another local school)  in 2019 please join us morning tea.  It makes the first day at a new school so much more comfortable when familiar faces are greeting you at the gate.    It is also just a great chance to meet other parents who live locally.

This is a very informal morning of play and conversation.    It is catered, so please ensure you register.

This invitation is for parents and children.  Parents must stay and supervise children at all times.

Everyone is welcome to attend, especially homeschoolers.  You don’t need to be starting a new school, you might just like to increase your local social circle and connect with other parents.

The Optimal Health Program is the result of research to develop a self-management program promoting hope, growth and collaboration by Frameworks for Health at St Vincent’s Health Melbourne.  It is fully funded and there is no cost to you.

It is instilled with a collaborative therapy approach that supports the exploration of an individual’s wellbeing; through reflection, setting of goals, self-managed strategies and health plans.

The program is designed to support participants to manage stresses and vulnerabilities and to address health behaviours that contribute to poor quality of life.

OHP fosters critical thinking and self-regulation, both key skills in recovery; with positive effects in increasing self-efficacy, resilience and increased capacity for pro-active health seeking and self-care behaviour.
