As a means of helping parents to better support our students, the Primary Campus conducts fortnightly 30 minute Parent Learning Lounges presenting information for parents on a range of topics. These are held in the Globe Building located beside the canteen covered area. Varsity College values its partnership with the community and endeavours to support parents in the education of their children, hence participation in the Learning Lounge program is deeply appreciated.
Where possible, presentation notes, slideshows or video will be accessible via the links below.
Suggestions for Parent Learning Lounge topics may be emailed to Mark Buzolic, Head of Department, Professional Practice, mbuzo1@eq.edu.au. Watch for Learning Lounge notifications throughout the term via the College newsletter, emails and the Varsity App.
