Wellbeing
Parents
At St Veronica's, we appreciate that the wellbeing of children in primary school extends far beyond physical health concerns. It encompasses their mental and emotional wellness as well. With this understanding, we have compiled a valuable collection of guides and tools on this page, aimed at addressing various aspects of wellbeing.
Parents - Headlice
Headlice can occasionally occur in a primary school setting, but with diligent detection and appropriate treatment, their effects can be minimised. We have provided helpful resources to assist in dealing with headlice effectively here.

If you feel more comfortable using online resources, we have provided some helpful links and documents that you can explore. Just remember, you are never alone, and there are always people who care about you and are ready to support you.
