Event Information
Bridge Builders is the whole-school wellbeing and mental health conflict resolution and anti-bullying program, that the Junior School implements with students from the ELC to Year 6.
This externally developed program equips children to be resilient, effective communicators and empowered to deal with everyday conflict and reduce bullying.
On Tuesday 14 March, representatives from Bridge Builders will be on campus to deliver an information session for parents and carers.
A key focus of the Bridge Builders program is working collaboratively with parents and carers, so that the school and home have the same understandings, skills and language.
The program reinforces skills of respect, empathy, and the importance of trust in relationships in a practical way.
These skills have both short-term and long-term benefits for your child/ren.
Since parents and carers have the biggest influence over a child’s emotional and social skills, we believe in the importance of encouraging and equipping them.
Every child is different and their social and emotional challenges are unique.
The old African proverb "It takes a village to raise a child", reinforces that as parents and schools work together, your child has the best environment to succeed and grow.
To RSVP for this parent information session, please use this link: BOOKING WEBLINK
If you have any questions regarding the program or information session, please contact us through the Junior School Administration Office.
Yours faithfully
Brittany Sinclair Andrew Powell

Logan Basketballer Ula Motuga Selected For Australian Three-On-Three Basketball Team
Michael Cormack – Sunday 4 June 2017 | Albert & Logan News
The experience of taking on the world’s best in her age group will only push Logan basketballer Ula Motuga to greater heights.
That is the opinion of Logan Thunder’s Basketball Operations Manager Luke Cann after the 17-year-old was selected to represent Australia in a three-on-three tournament.
“What I’ve said to a few of our young basketballers who have been selected at a high level, is that you want to get slightly exposed,” Cann said.
“You get a bit more understanding of what it takes to get to those elite levels, so I’m glad she’s going to get that experience.
“She’ll be playing against girls who will go to high-level US colleges.”
Cann said Ula would be well suited to the format.
“At her best, she’s quite unstoppable because she can do it all,” he said.
“She’s made for three-on-three and she’s a prototypical player for the format, because she can score, she can rebound, she can defend, she can pass, and she can play inside and outside.
“If you’ve got skill and size, then you’re well suited and Ula has that.
“You need players who can do it all, because with there being only three players on the court at a time, there is less room for specialist players.
“Ula also has a very good understanding of the game, and there is no coach in this format, so it’s important to have people who understand the game and are strong leaders.”
The Canterbury College Year 12 student said: “It’s good to be given this opportunity”.
“I’m excited about being able to represent my country and being able to play with the best girls in the country,” she said.
“You’ve got to stay focused in the three-on-three format and be ready for whatever.
“The tempo’s a bit quicker than five-on-five basketball — it’s a lot of fun.”
Ula thanked former Thunder player Bridget O’Brien, who has worked with her at Canterbury College, for helping her develop.
