Wellbeing
Body image and eating disorder awareness week is a national week to raise awareness of body image concerns and eating disorders, celebrated annually in the first full week of September.
BodyKind is the Butterfly Foundation’s awareness initiative encouraging everyone in Australia to be kind to their own body and to others; face to face and online. During our Week 7 Wellbeing lesson, students received The BodyKind Journal promoting kindness in the way they move, nourish and nurture their bodies. We encourage parents to discuss BodyKind with their daughters.
