Dr Justin Coulson brings seminars to NBCS

Last week, our school had the privilege of hosting Dr Justin Coulson, renowned parenting expert and author, for two engaging seminars.

Parents from the school and wider community met to hear him speak on The Parenting Revolution, highlighting the importance of adapting our parenting approaches to become compassionate, understanding and focused on building trust and mutual respect between parents and children. Coulson advocates for setting clear boundaries, as these provide children with a sense of security and structure, helping them to develop self-discipline and responsibility.

Cultivating Respectful Relationships was tailored specifically for students in Years 7-9, delving into the complexities of peer interactions. Dr Coulson challenged our students to redefine positive masculinity as individuals who make others feel ‘safe and strong’, fostering a culture of moral courage even amidst peer pressures. He dedicated additional time to interacting with our Year 9 cohort, addressing their queries and concerns directly.
