What's Happening @ St James College                 

May Ball, 25th May 2012

Preparation for the May Ball has begun with students practising their dance steps and planning their wardrobes... Stay tuned for more to come!

Our college is pleased to announce we will be commencing the Rainbows Programme.
The programme is very supportive of children who are being affected by changes in their family structure. We are very fortunate to have several adults in our school community who have been trained in the skills needed to facilitate Rainbows.
When something significant happens in a family, the entire family is affected. Even though death,
divorce or separation appears to be only a grown-up problem, it does have a profound effect on
the children that it touches. Because of their age and short life experiences, children find it
extremely difficult to verbalise those feelings.
If your child is part of a single-parent family, a step-family or struggling through a painful
experience of loss, this will be an opportunity for him/her to gain assistance in expressing and
understanding feelings, to begin to accept what has happened and to feel a sense of belonging
and being loved. If you feel your child would benefit from participating, please complete this form  return it to the school office before Friday, 27th April.
