“Parenting teenagers is a bit like whitewater rafting-but I want you to have both sides of the picture. Scary, hectic, and uncomfortable-yes; but also thrilling, stimulating, challenging and ultimately very rewarding”. Ian Grant.
“Of all the natural events that occur in the family life cycle, the emergence of adolescence is the one most likely to test parental flexibility and tolerance.”. Dr. Michael Carr-Gregg
5th (and FINAL) Letter Home from Gnurad-Gundidj Campus - Term 2 - 26 June 2019
Letter Snapshot...
We describe the Gnurad Gundidj Campus experience as having three phases: Preparation, separation and reintegration. The final, reintegration phase for the community of Term 2, 2019 is just beginning. Make no mistake, the reintegration phase is the longest phase (it can go on for all our lives), and can be the most challenging. It may require some pre-planning on all your behalves, and I hope I can provide some ideas or thoughts to assist this phase. Your school holiday may be a real challenge and they may be the most fantastic you have ever had together.

DEPARTURE DAY
Thank you for contributing to the 2nd term of the Gnurad Gundidj Campus for 2019. The “Separation Phase” of the Gnurad Gundidj Campus Experience concludes for the community of Term 2, 2019 on Saturday, 29th June, signalling the beginning of the “Reintegration Phase”!
Please note: students will greet you at 10am (sharp). We will allow 30 minutes for families to laugh, cry, hug etc and we then invite you to witness a short presentation from students. We will be finished by 11.30.
If any other travel arrangements have been made, please advise us immediately because until you assume in writing responsibility of your son/daughter again, we are entrusted with their care.
With every good wish on behalf of the Gnurad Gundidj Campus Team
Mark Reeves and Sean Fitzpatrick (Campus Principal)
