The first week of a new term sets the tone for everything that follows—both for teachers and for parents. Smart school owners know that investing in teacher preparation, workshops, and team alignment not only energizes staff but also reassures parents that their children are in capable hands. In this blog, we uncover how intentional teacher training and planning boost staff readiness, create a positive learning atmosphere, and send a strong message of professionalism and care to parents.

Starting a new school term often comes with the challenge of managing fee collection smoothly. Late payments, missed deadlines, and poor communication can strain parent-school relationships and disrupt cash flow. In this blog, we share smart, stress-free strategies schools can adopt to simplify collections, build parent trust, and maintain financial stability—all while reducing the workload on staff.

Parents may not tell you directly, but they notice these things and they talk about them. A strong first week builds confidence, reduces complaints, and even attracts referrals. Parents notice your organization, teachers feel supported, and students settle in faster.

Teaching children to respect the belongings of others isn’t just about manners, it’s about building empathy and fostering trust in relationships. When children learn this value early, they develop stronger social skills and deeper connections with others. Respect begins at home. Show your child why it’s important to ask before using something that doesn’t belong to them and practice it yourself. Model the behaviour you want to see in your child. Lead by example!
