The Marigold Series | Session 3: Navigating Tough Conversation: Building Bridges Between Home and School
As educators and health professionals, we are often called to have conversations that are uncomfortable but essential – about student behaviour, wellbeing or progress. How do we approach parents with empathy while maintaining professional boundaries? How do we balance compassion with accountability, and ensure that students are active participants in repairing relationships and learning from their actions? This workshop explores practical frameworks for restorative communication, tools for de-escalation, and strategies for fostering trust and shared responsibility between schools, families, and students.
Dates & Times: Thursday 12 February 2026 ; 14h30 – 16h00 | Presenters: Peta Hafner (Educator), Aadila Tilly (Educator) and Daniela Allan (Deputy Principal)
