Developing Resilient Teenagers

Wellington East Girls’ College has recently become a member of the International Coalition of Girls’ Schools (https://girlsschools.org/). As part of the coalition we are able to gain access to some fantastic parent seminars. 

On 4 September from 7 - 8.30pm we would like to invite you along to a seminar with renowned researcher and psychologist Dr Judith Locke.  She will explore common parenting approaches and help to fine-tune strategies parents already use to help teenagers reach their potential. 

There is more information and a registration for this event on this link: https://girlsschools.org/events/developing-resilient-teenagers-wellington-new-zealand/
