What fun things are there to look forward to in Term 4?
Welcome back to Term 4! I trust that you all had an enjoyable break and were able to spend some quality family time together! It was delightful to see the students in their classrooms and the playground this week full of energy and enthusiasm. The staff and I look forward to an exciting term ahead!
Uniform Reminders
Thank you for ensuring that students abide by the College uniform requirements. Some reminders are:
- HATS are needed for Term 4 (or no play)
- Parkas are only to be worn over jumpers and blazers during Term 2 and Term 3, so no parkas in Term 4 (unless it is exceptionally cold or wet)
- Students must wear their blazers to and from school, unless 25 degrees or over
- Hair must be tied back (not half up/half down)
October is National Mental Health Month
It is important to look after both our physical and mental wellbeing as it contributes to a happy and healthy life. During Assemblies this week students were reminded to look out for each other and check in with friends to make sure that they are okay. They were asked to follow 4 steps:
‘National Mental Health Month is an initiative of the Mental Health Foundation Australia (MHFA) to advocate for and raise awareness of Australian mental health. It is an important time where the Australian community comes together to raise awareness and promote better mental health for all. Throughout this month, many events have been organised in each state of Australia aiming to attract and unite Australians of all ages and backgrounds to raise awareness and promote better mental health for all.
The National Mental Health Month 2022 Awareness Campaign theme is:
Building Resilience: Communities and Connections’
