Wellbeing

We have had a very eventful school well-being programs in term 4 this year. 

Our Futsal competitions were month long tournaments which provided an opportunity for student to live out the school values of Team Work , Respect, Integrity and Achievement. The competition developed students positive decision making, attendance, commitment to school activities and respect and accountability to fellow peers.

Our Senior futsal competition saw Mohammed Taleb in year 12 win the Golden Boot award with the Golden Glove going to Adham Taleb in year 12. The Junior Futsal competition had Ibrahim Moustafa in year 8 win the Golden Boot award with Golden Glove going to Dawud El Sayed in year 8.

Honourable mentions Yusuf Malik in year 10 for outstanding performance in goals, Banibal Zoumaya for bravest keeper and Ayman Osman in year 10 for an exceptional display of skills throughout the tournament. 

Glenroy College is currently working with Melbourne Victory and Coburg Giants to explore possible avenues for students to participate in extracurricular programs which develop students confidence, self esteem and overall well-being. 

The Annual ATLAS Camp run by Lord Summers occurred at the end of term 3, which had two of our students attend. ATLAS Camp is a weekend camp for teenagers from a refugee or newly migrated background. Activities and entertainment are designed with the aim to help participants build self-confidence, share in cultural exchange, make new friends, try new experiences and create a sense of belonging and identity to help participants adjust to a new life in Australia. The program also promotes mutual understanding amongst multicultural youth and volunteer staff. 

This camp will be running next year and will be open to Glenroy College Student.

Jordan commented; ‘The food was awesome, and my favourite activity was the paint run’.

Glenroy College Environmental Group involved students receiving education for CERES, on sustainability and horticulture. The students applied their knowledge in the development of a native garden which involved the student digging and preparing an area of the school then planting a range of native plants. The Environmental Group will continue to develop and implement initiatives around the school and will have termly educational excursions to CERES, which aim to further develop the knowledge and skills of our students.
