Wellbeing update

Box Hill High School
Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club is back for Term 4, thanks to Foodbank Victoria, helping turn sleepy yawns into bright smiles and loads of energy to learn by delivering a free nutritious breakfast to hungry students. All students are welcome to join us for cereal, toast and fruit from 8:15am on Tuesday mornings in the Wellbeing Hub.
Using the Wellbeing Hub for a Supportive Space
The Wellbeing team has updated the guidelines for using the hub as a supportive space, communicating this to students during year level assemblies. While we are pleased that so many of our students find our space safe and calm, we want to assist students to build their toolbox of coping strategies; supporting them to reset and reengage with their learning throughout the day. If a student begins to use the space frequently, we endeavour to make a personalised supportive space plan. Below are the guidelines provided to all students.
Diwali celebrations
Box Hill High School celebrated Diwali across Week 3 this term. The week included Diya Decoration workshops in the lead up to a lunchtime event on Friday 24 October. The event included Henna Hand Drawing, Diwali Wish Tree, Tambola Game and a Diwali Dance-Along. It was fantastic to see students getting involved, learning about and celebrating culture.
Upcoming Events
Our annual Second-Hand Uniform Sale will be held early December. Please look out for further information in the coming weeks on Compass Newsfeed.
