At the Elphin campus, part of our Wellbeing focus is to develop a whole-school friendship strategy that empowers students with the skills, language, and confidence to develop healthy friendships. This aligns with our College Wellbeing Priorities of Belonging and Resilience, which in turn supports a positive school culture. To strengthen the development of relationship skills beyond the classroom, Friendology offers a range of free online resources just for parents and carers.

Here’s how you can access the Friendology Parent Resources:

  1. Visit the URSTRONG website – www.urstrong.com
  2. Create a free parent account – Click on the “Join” button in the top right corner. Select “Parent” and follow the prompts to create a free account.
  3. Explore the resources
    – Articles and videos about friendship skills
    – Conversation starters for home
    – Posters and printables to support your child
    – Recordings of parent webinars and more!
  4. Stay connected

URSTRONG also offers regular newsletters and updates to keep you informed about upcoming workshops and tips on how to support your child’s social-emotional development.
We encourage all families to sign up and make the most of these valuable tools. By working together—school and home—we can help every child feel confident, connected, and capable in their friendships.

If you have any questions or need help accessing the resources, please feel free to contact me.
