Maths Monkey’s Quest The award-winning parent resource School A to Z has released a new maths game app. Maths Monkey’s Quest is a fun and interactive game designed to help sharpen your child’s maths skills. The game—suitable for students in Years 3-8—features maths questions on topics ranging from addition and subtraction to ratios and percentages.

Sound advice on sleep Did you know it’s recommended that school-aged children get 10-11 hours sleep each night? For tips on how to make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep go to: http://raisingchildren.net.au/articles/school_age_sleep_nutshell.html

Keeping Kids in School To Parents and Students Teachers, principals and other educators are working hard to help students succeed in school. But they can’t do it alone. Going to school and learning takes effort from both parents and teachers.

Parents, you’re in the best position to help your children understand the benefits of regular school attendance. You can help by:

o Encouraging your children to go to school regularly. Talk with your children about their future education and career goals. Help them map out which courses they will need to get there. Make sure your children understand why it’s important to go to school.

o Making sure our own words and actions send a positive message about school.

o Becoming involved with your child’s school activities. Students develop positive attitudes about school when their parents take an active interest in their studies and attend school activities.

o Making clear that school is the number one priority for young people. Make sure your children’s academics receive high priority.

Students, attending school every day has rewarding benefits: o If you learn more, you’ll earn more. o What you learn now lasts a lifetime! o School encourages friendships. o School challenges you to reach for your

dreams. o Teachers dare you to achieve and are proud

of your success. o School shows you the way to success in your

future. o School is a place for fun activities like sports

and clubs. o Knowledge can improve your quality of life. Young people who attend school and study more learn more. Most successful people got where they are through hard work. School is the same way.
