Year 9 MEGAR Week 2018

MEGAR Week 2018

25 - 29 JUNE

In the last week of Term 2 (25-29 June), Year 9 students will be participating in MEGAR week. Throughout the week,  Year 9 students will participate in a range of fun activities that aim to build students’ skills in:

Mindfulness,

Empathy,

Gratitude,

Acceptance and

Resilience.

The activities are intended to promote mental health and wellbeing, all while having a bit of a break from regular classes and stepping out of your comfort zone!  Some activities to look forward to include: various workshops, yoga, mindfulness and meditation, a fitness session, a motivational speaker, a visit to Monash University and Chisolm TAFE, and much more!

For more information about the week, please contact Ms Emma Manks, Ms Paige Jessulat, and Ms April Ewing.

If interested, students will also have the opportunity to volunteer in their local community at some stage during MEGAR week.  To facilitate this, we are partnering with Impact Volunteering to offer students authentic community engagement opportunities.  This is a great way for students to get involved in the wider community and start giving back – letting them start practising empathy and gratitude right away!  For more information about community engagement, please contact Mrs Sarah Bahramis.
