Many of parents and children that come to visit my Wanneroo office will pop over to the Wanneroo Central Shops next door. I'm sure if you have ever been into the Kmart there you will know that this award is well deserved for the wonderful door greeter whose smile, dancing and overall friendliness lights up everyone's day!
Congratulations!

Positive male role models like Robert Erwin are detoxifying the social media 'manosphere'.
Robert's Dancing With The Stars fame is providing a platform to help counter the misogynist views of the likes of Andrew Tate and show more positive visions of what masculinity can be.
Watch some of Robert's interviews with your children at home and school.
What a great role model- Steve certainly would be proud!

Not all disabilities are visible.

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Australia & New Zealand is a globally recognised symbol that allows people with non-visible disabilities to discreetly indicate they may need a little extra time, patience, or support in public.

To help raise awareness and promote inclusion, I have purchased some Sunflower lanyards to share.

🌻If you live in the electorate and feel this would support you or someone you care for, please get in touch:

I developed this Transition to High School Program a few years ago and have facilitated it for year 6 students in full classrooms, small groups and with individual clients.

It is available for purchase for teachers and others who may want to facilitate a transition to high school with a strong focus on social and emotional wellbeing through the 'Teachers Pay Teachers' site (see link below).

There is a power point for the facilitator and a workbook for students/clients (purchased separately).

If you have a child in year 6 about to finish primary school and transition into high school you can book for a series of 'Moving up! High School here we come' counselling sessions at my Wanneroo Office in term 4.
