Welcome to Term 2! 

We hope everyone had a relaxing break and are ready for an exciting and productive term ahead. 

This term we celebrate IDAHOBIT day. The 17 May marks the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). This is a day when millions of people around the world take a stand against LGBTIQA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex, queer and asexual) discrimination.

Celebrating IDAHOBIT is a way to show your support for our LGBTIQA+ community. It is an important day to acknowledge because 2 in 3 LGBTIQA+ youth experience abuse due to their identity.

Stay tuned for more info about how you can get involved, the wellbeing, inclusion and diversity captains will be running activities on the day!

Year 7 Love Bites

Over the course of Term 2, the Student Wellbeing Team and Secondary School Nurses will be facilitating the Love Bites Junior ‘Healthy Friendships’ Program with our Year 7 cohort. Students will have the opportunity to participate to share their ideas and learn how to have healthy and safe relationships with people in their community.

NAPCAN (National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect) developed this program after many communities across Australia identified concerns about how young people’s use of social media was impacting on their relationships and wellbeing. The program focusses on building young people’s abilities to think critically and act mindfully in relation to how they manage their relationships in general and via social media.

Please know that we are here to support you- here’s the team.
