PARENT INFORMATION SESSIONS
Parents play a vital role in the development of healthy, life-long behaviours in our children.
At Bodyworks Health and Wellbeing, we believe it is essential that parents are kept well-informed about the Health and Personal Growth and Development programs within your school curriculum.
We conduct Parent Information Sessions to ensure Parents are knowledgeable and confident in all aspects of our Classroom Program and as a result, have more enlightened conversations with their children.
TESTIMONIALS
We’re a family that’s
focused on a healthy
way of living, so having
this reinforced at school
from a different perspective
is fantastic!
What a positive and
refreshing program!
We feel very fortunate
that our kids have been
given the knowledge
to make smart choices
as they grow up.
Since my daughter was involved in the Bodyworks
Health and Wellbeing program, we’ve had more
meaningful and open conversations about personal
growth and development. I can now address her
questions without any fear or embarrassment.
