WHAT IS THE BOUNDARIES WITHOUT CONFLICT PARENTING PROGRAM?
Boundaries Without Conflict is a group parenting program facilitated by the School Psychology Service aimed at helping parents/carers address their child's challenging, violent, or destructive behaviours. During the program parents/carers will develop a clear plan to address their child's challenging behaviours, feel more in control, and explore how to communicate without promoting escalation.
WHAT DOES THE GROUP INVOLVE?
Boundaries Without Conflict is a multi-week program with each session running for two hours. Each group will have approximately 15 participating families (one or both parents/carers) and is facilitated by at least one psychologist. Activities are based on the Non-Violent Resistance evidence based therapeutic approach. It includes whole and small group activities and take home tasks are set for between sessions. Children do not attend the program
ARE THERE ANY RISKS FOR PARTICIPANTS?
It's possible that when participants start to use the strategies taught in the program, they or their child may initially experience a higher level of distress as challenging behaviours are addressed. However, as participants continue learning and practicing a wider range of strategies, these are likely to reduce.
HOW WILL INFORMATION BE KEPT AND SHARED?
Information shared within the group is confidential and is not shared outside of the group. Should facilitators become concerned about a child's safety or well-being external agencies will be notified. Where appropriate, the facilitators will endeavour to assist families identify the appropriate next steps in gaining support. At the beginning and end of the program participants will be asked to complete short questionnaires. This data is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and to get an understanding of how participants are travelling. File notes regarding parent/carer's involvement in the program will be recorded, stored securely, and will be placed on an electronic student School Counselling File at the child's school.

Parent Portal
Posted on 07 May 2024
Parent Portal is a secure online platform used to share student information between you and your child’s teachers.
Using the Parent Portal on your mobile phone, tablet or computer, you can:
- notify us if your child is sick or explain an absence
- book parent-teacher interviews
- receive academic reports
- receive our school newsletter
- receive messages from your child’s teachers
- make payments
- access the school calendar and your child’s student timetable.
One of the many benefits of the Parent Portal is that it will be used by all ACT public schools from preschool through to year 12, so there will be no need to use a different system as children change schools during their public-school journey. If you have children at nearby schools you will not need to sign up to the system twice. You will be able to easily add a student to your account once their school has access to the Parent Portal.
If you already have a Parent Portal account, use this Parent Portal access link to start using the great features. You can’t access Parent Portal directly through the ACT Digital Account website, you need to use the link above. When you are logged into Parent Portal, we recommend saving the browser as a favourite or to the homepage on your mobile phone for quick access in the future. The website can only be viewed using a web browser on your computer, mobile phone or tablet. An app is not available at this time.
If you still need to register, you will need an access key and a Parent Portal registration link via email to link your existing account to your child’s records. If you haven’t received this, please contact the school’s front office team for assistance.
If you have any questions, please contact the Front Office at info@adhs.act.edu.au or on 6142 3888
