Mental Health Week
Happy Mental Health Week to our school community!
We know that this year has had its own challenges and that although we’ve gotten over the hump of Covid19, we still experience its after effects. Taking the time out of our busy days to look after ourselves continues to prove its power in managing mental ill health.
The Student Services Wellbeing Team recognise the importance of giving the school community an opportunity to indulge in activities that we might not otherwise do.
The activities on offer for the whole week are aimed at our entire school community and we would highly encourage everyone to get involved in at least one activity. See below for schedule of events.

BNYSN Supporting Emotional Regulation in Young People
The Banyule Nillumbik Youth Services Network is excited to present TOOLBOX in this 45-minute informational session about assisting young people to navigate and regulate their emotions. It is common for pre-teens and teenagers to experience intense emotions and mood swings. When these emotions arise, it can be difficult to know what to do to support a young person.
This session will focus on how to assist young people to regulate their own emotions in these heightened situations. Parents attending the session will walk away with:
-Noticing the signs and triggers of emotional distress.
-Using supportive language to work through uncomfortable emotions.
-Practical strategies to help regulate emotions.
