Program (Parent Information Sessions) CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:GETTING ON TRACK IN TIME – GOT IT! Program\n\nGot It! is an e arly intervention program run by NSW Health along with NSW Department of E ducation. Your school has been offered a place in this exciting program.\n \nThe Got It! team will be running a 9-week program for children in Kinder garten to Year 2\, aged 5-8 years and their parents\, who are having probl ems with challenging and disruptive behaviour – at home or at school. Th e program will give families the opportunity to be part of a fun and suppo rtive group that can improve child behaviour and family relationships and help parents deal with difficult behaviours.\n\nChallenging and disruptive behaviour often causes problems in many areas of a child’s life. It can also be stressful for their family\, friends and community. Sadly\, these children can often be seen as ‘naughty’\, rather than as children who are struggling with organising their thoughts\, feelings and behaviours.\ n\nGot It! aims to give support and practical help to children and their f amilies\, and also to support the school community to help children get th e most out of the opportunities available to them.\n\nEarly next term\, al l families will be asked to complete a questionnaire for each child in Kin dergarten\, Year 1 and Year 2. Once you have received the questionnaire\, please help us by returning it ASAP.\n\nGot It! will be holding informatio n sessions about the program at Orange East PS on:  \n\nWednesday 8th of May - 9am\, 12pm and 3pm\n\nIf you have any questions please contact the school for further information.
