Wellbeing

Term 3 - Breakfast Club

During term 3, Breakfast Club Cereal is being offered to students during recess on Wednesdsay mornings. Our EDConnect volunteer Amanda, SVC wellbeing committee members and Mental Health Practitioner faciliate this opportunity weekly. 

Whilst we wait for our school canteen to open on Tuesday 18 August, Wellbeing continues to place orders with Foodbank to and provide free fresh fruit and snack items to students. Students are able to visit the school office to obtain some fruit and snack items for free. Once the canteen opens, the school will continue to order fruit for students to access. 

Ed Connect Program

Commencing term 3, Warrandyte High School has teamed up with the EDConnect Program to offer a mentoring program at school. EDConnect provides mentoring and support to schools by recruited volunteers. Warrandyte High School has been fortunate to have Manoshi and Amanda recruited to our school for the next 12 months. They are currently linked with a number of students and are getting to know them. 

Upcoming Workshops and Events

Throughout Term 3, the Wellbeing team has organised the following workshops for different year levels:-

•  YSAS Drug and Alcohol sessions for Year 9 and 10 focusing on harm minimisation, and keeping safe
