School Leavers

School Leavers Week this year runs between Monday 22 November - Thursday 25 November.

With the hard work, exam stress and 12 years of schooling coming to an end, one of the rewards for our year 12's is School Leavers.  An exciting time of changing responsibility and exploring freedoms, it can also be an anxious time for parents.  There are support systems available in schoolies for our kids to seek advice or ask for help should they need it and that is the fantastic Red Frog service.  Red Frogs are volunteers that “act as the eyes and ears in accommodation venues and out on the streets, providing a positive peer presence” and you can arrange a visit from a Red Frog to your school leaver to talk, cook them pancakes or give them a hand to “keep their room in a liveable condition”! Here is a link to tips for parents from Red Frogs and is worth a read:

Vaccination requirements for School Leavers.

There are now requirements from the Western Australian government for school leavers, staff, volunteers and the local community to have at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccination by November 22 for the Dunsborough school leavers event.  Please check the government health website for any updates to this prior to the event through the link below:
