Consent and Participation:

In order to ensure the success of the program and effectively address the needs of each student, we require parental consent for participation. If you believe your child could benefit from additional support with social skills and peer interactions and are interested in enrolling them in one of these groups, please express your interest by emailing emma.yu@mccg.org.au with your child's name and class. I will contact you with further details. Once the group is full, your child's name will be added to the waiting list.

Thank you, and I appreciate your support in fostering our children's growth and development.
