From Temperament to Character
We feel this event hosted by Family Education Australia will be of value to our families.
Who: Dr Andrew Mullins has over 30 years of experience as an educationalist, including as teacher, tutor and headmaster at Redfield and Wollemi Colleges in NSW. He is author of the book Parenting for Character and of many other papers on related topics, including a doctorate focused on the neural bases of virtue. Dr. Mullins has been nominated to present this topic at the biennial IFFD conference to be held in Mexico later in 2015.
What: From temperament to character - discover and develop our children's potential using their unique personal traits - whether easy going or sometimes hard to handle.
This seminar will help parents identify the need to focus not only on the training of our 'challenging children' but to be also aware of the unseen needs of what we could call our 'easy, less demanding children'.

Ideals in teaching
We are hosting a series of presentations for teachers, discussing different aspects of the wonderful vocation of teachers - who are called to help form the children of today to become the society of tomorrow.
We have enjoyed two presentations already, and we welcome anyone interested in enriching their professional lives as teachers to get in touch, and we will update you as to future sessions.
If you know of any teachers, students studying to be teachers, or those considering teaching as a possible career, please invite them to join our mailing list.
