The Wellbeing of Children from Syria and Iraq
Researchers from Foundation House and The University of Melbourne would like to understand students’ thoughts and feeling about their lives in Australia. Students selected for this research are to be in Year 4, 5 or 6, have been in Australia for no more than 2 years and have come from Syria or Iraq. Students will take part in an enjoyable computer program titled “My Life in Australia”. This program asks students about:
their feelings living in Australia, the things, places and people that make them happy and cared for the things that worry them and the things that help them to feel better
In the week beginning Monday 27 February 2017, the school will contact parents via a phone call to inform them about the research study on “My Life in Australia”. A letter and consent form in Arabic and English will be sent home with the student and it is to be completed and returned to school, sealed in the envelope provided. Students taking part in the research will not be identified in any way. No names will appear and all names will be kept confidential. The school and families will receive useful information to help support the children. Meadow Heights Primary School welcomes and supports this research.
We need your help!
We are looking for parent volun-
teers to help us make literacy re-
sources. If you have an hour or
two to spare please contact
Andrea at school.
Thank you
