Parents are warmly invited to join us for St Peters Parent Symposium 2 in 2026, featuring the return of renowned clinical psychologist and parenting expert Dr Judith Locke.

A registered clinical psychologist, former teacher and school counsellor, Dr Locke is widely respected for her practical and research-based advice on modern parenting, family wellbeing and academic success. 

Drawing on her extensive clinical experience, she will share positive and effective strategies to help children and teenagers build confidence, resilience and independence throughout their school years and beyond.

During this session, parents will gain valuable strategies to help their children navigate schoolwork, exams, friendships and challenging life events, while also fostering the skills needed for future success at university and in the workplace.

Dr Locke is the bestselling author of The Bonsai Child and The Bonsai Student, and co-author of Raising Anxiety. A frequent media commentator and Fellow of the APS College of Clinical Psychologists, she brings a wealth of expertise and practical guidance for families.

We look forward to welcoming Dr Locke back to St Peters for what promises to be an engaging and informative evening.
