EHS World Mental Health Day Activities
On Tuesday October 10, our students and staff came together to participate in a variety of meaningful and impactful wellness initiatives, highlighting the importance of mental health in our school community.
World Mental Health Day provided a unique platform for open and honest discussions about mental health. The heart of the day was the incredible range of wellbeing activities that students participated in. These included community facilitated meditation and yoga sessions to promote relaxation and mindfulness. The creativity flowed in our Collage Art Workshop, allowing students to express their emotions and thoughts. The adrenaline rush in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the artistic flair in Street Art Workshop provided students with diverse outlets for self-expression and stress relief.
Many students expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to engage in activities that not only benefited their mental health but also allowed them to connect with their peers in a meaningful way. World Mental Health Day was not just a one-day event at Eltham High. We will continue to promote and introduce mental health initiatives and resources to ensure our students have access to the support they need.
