Yea High School was delighted to host our Time & Space – Mothers & Children evening for our Year 7 and 8 students and their mothers and female mentors.
It was a genuine pleasure to welcome Bill Jennings back to Yea High School. Many in our community will remember Bill’s work with our school following the Black Saturday Bushfires, when connection, reflection and conversation were more important than ever. We are grateful to once again benefit from his wisdom, experience and passion.
The evening provided a special opportunity for meaningful conversations, shared stories and strengthened connections. Feedback from students and parents highlighted the impact of the experience:
“It was good to get the time to talk and have conversations we may not have had.”
“I feel like I have rarely connected with Mum like that.”
“I thought this experience would be embarrassing, but I had some great conversations.”
“It was really nice being able to have that conversation with my son. A really authentic moment.”
“A lovely way to talk to your child about something you may not usually talk about.”
Thank you to Bill Jennings, our students, and all the mothers and mentors who attended and made the evening such a memorable and meaningful experience.
Watch this space for the Time & Space - Fathers & Children event scheduled for later this year.
