Wellbeing Week 2026

Warrandyte High School is getting ready to host its annual Wellbeing Week to coincide with RUOK Day on Thursday 10th September 2026. 

Activites are being finalised for the 3 day event across the school day. Activities will run across recess and lunchtime as well as some classroom sessions that focus on positive mental health. 

RUOK Day is encouraged throughout the week to support students to understand the importance of checking in with their friends and peers. Students are encouraged to wear a splash of yellow as part of this day to support mental health. 

Other RUOK Day activities being promoted include conversation starters that support checking in and a Gratitude Tree. 

End of Year Exams and Looking After Yourself

Our senior students are coming to the end of their high school time and are being faced with the added pressure of exams and finalising all their school commitments. It is not uncommon that our anxiety and stress levels increase during this time. 

Students and their families can be proactive in encouraging self care and having discussions about good life/school balance to get through this busy and hectic time. 

Make sure that you take time in your schedule to eat well, sleep, have a break, and exercise to look after yourself. A great way to manage your time is working up a timetable that helps to organise your day and commitments. Include the important things like sleep and meal times, study sessions, upcoming exams as well as those necessary breaks, work commitments and hanging out with your friends. 

Don't forget that wellbeing support is available to students who need extra assistance or a chat during the next few weeks.
