Wellbeing

Tune into Our First Ever GEM Chat! 

The wellbeing captains are very excited to share the very first GEM Chat video – focusing on Gratitude! In this episode, staff and students open up about what made them smile today, what they're looking forward to this term, and who they are grateful for. 

Take a moment to watch and see how small acts of gratitude can create a ripple effect of positivity throughout our community.  

Thanks for watching!

School TV Special Report – Healthy Masculinity 

The topic of healthy masculinity concerns people of all genders, and has gained renewed attention with the release of the critically acclaimed TV show  'Adolescence', which highlights the complex challenges boys are facing. In recent years, there has been a concerning rise in online spaces that present confusing and often harmful ideas about masculinity. You can learn more about it on MGC’s School TV portal.
