International Day of Happiness
Today as a college community, we celebrated International Day of Happiness.
The theme for International Day of Happiness 2025 is "Caring and Sharing', reminding us that lasting happiness comes from caring for each other, feeling connected and being part of something bigger.
During the lunch break students were invited to join the wellbeing team in the school library. Together we shared messages of positivity, smiley face stickers, music, and laughter while we made friendship bracelets together. There were smiles and laughter.
We had Simone from Headspace Werribee join us for our lunch time celebration.
Attached is information regarding the services Headspace offer our youth.
We welcome you to explore the following link - Action For Happiness.

Prep - 2 Grandparents/VIP Day
Our Prep-2 unit hosted a very successful Grandparents/VIP Day at school on Wednesday, 19th March, 2025.
Our Prep – Grade 2 students had the wonderful opportunity to share their morning with their grandparents or a special friend. It was heart warming to see grandparents reminiscing about their own school days, sharing stories and cherished memories, along with some precious toys from their past.
This cross-generational interaction highlighted the importance of schooling and the lasting memories it creates. Through activities like mapping and colouring the outline of the hands, our students connected with their loved ones in meaningful ways. Our Grade 6 students also took on the role of interviewers, recording these special moments on iPads to preserve these stories for the future.
We look forward to thanking our visiting grandparents with a special memento to commemorate their time with us at our Altona North Campus in the coming weeks.
A special thank you to Ms. Thompson for organising this event, and to
Mr. Hutchison, Ms. Sun, Ms. Jones, Ms. Diego, and our ES staff,
Mr. Bruce Hill, Ms. Ardizzone, Ms. Sallu, and Ms. Sposito—for their invaluable support in making this day so memorable.
