Learning to Live with Change and Loss
Change and loss are issues that affect all of us at some stage in our lives. At Bacchus Marsh Grammar, we recognise that when changes occur in families through death, separation, divorce and related circumstances, young people may benefit from learning how to manage these changes. We are therefore offering a very successful education program called Seasons for Growth which will commence in Term 3, 2025 at both our Maddingley and Woodlea campuses.
This program is facilitated in small groups and is based on research which highlights the importance of social support and the need to practise new skills to cope effectively with change and loss. The program focuses on issues such as self-esteem, managing feelings, problem-solving, decision making, effective communication and support networks. Groups, which will be run each week in class time for eight weeks, are established based on age and are small in number, so places will be limited.
Availability of the Seasons for Growth program will depend on interest at each campus. If you think your child would benefit from Seasons for Growth, we would encourage you to talk to them about participating in the program. More information about the program can be found at Good Grief.
Bacchus Marsh Grammar is pleased to be able to offer this important program.
To express interest in your child participating in Season for Growth, please contact:
