Wellbeing

Growth, resilience & holistic wellbeing

As we embark on Term 2, our focus shifts towards nurturing the holistic wellbeing of our students. This term is not just about academic achievement but also about fostering resilience, self-awareness, and healthy habits that will serve our students well beyond the classroom.

During Wellbeing this term, students will explore:

Goal Setting: 

Setting clear and achievable goals is key to success. This term, we encourage students to reflect on their academic and personal aspirations, breaking them down into manageable and achievable steps to keep motivation high.

Study and Organisation Skills: 

Equipping students with effective study and organisation skills empowers them to manage their workload efficiently and reduce stress. Time management, prioritisation, and creating a conducive study environment are essential to ensuring a productive and successful term.

Identifying Stress Indicators: 

Understanding and identifying stress indicators is crucial for maintaining mental and emotional wellbeing. Through specifically designed activities and structured discussions, we help students recognise signs of stress and implement coping strategies.

Importance of Mindfulness: 

Mindfulness practices promote self-awareness, focus, and emotional regulation. Incorporating mindfulness into daily routines can enhance mental clarity and overall wellbeing.

Digital Nutrition: 

Just as we nourish our bodies with healthy food, we must also nourish our minds with positive digital content. Educating students about digital nutrition and responsible online behaviour is vital in today's digital age.

Mental Health: 

Our commitment to mental health extends beyond awareness to providing support and resources for students facing challenges. Open discussions, access to counselling services, and promoting a stigma-free environment are integral parts of our approach.

Risk-Taking Behaviour: 

While exploring new experiences is important for growth, we also guide students in understanding the consequences of risk-taking behaviour. Discussions led by experts like Brent Sanders provide valuable insights into making responsible decisions regarding alcohol, sexual assault, and personal safety.

Further to this, as part of our Term 2 initiatives, we are delighted to have Brent Sanders engage with our Year 10 and 11 students. His expertise in addressing sensitive topics such as alcohol, sexual assault, and responsible decision-making equips our students with crucial knowledge and empowers them to make informed choices.

Together, let's make Term 2 a time of growth, resilience, and holistic wellbeing. By nurturing these foundations, we lay the groundwork for our students to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
