Leader of Year 7 Wellbeing

As Term 3 begins to come to a close, we’re proud to celebrate the many successes of our Year 7 students. From navigating new routines to building friendships and embracing learning challenges, they’ve shown resilience, curiosity, and a growing sense of independence. Their enthusiasm and engagement across subjects have been a joy to witness, and it’s clear they’re laying strong foundations for the years ahead.

Peer Support Program Wrap-Up 

This term also marked the conclusion of our Peer Support program, where Year 11 and 12 leaders guided Year 7s through sessions focused on teamwork, communication, and confidence-building. The bonds formed and lessons learned have left a lasting impact, helping our younger students feel more connected and supported in their high school journey. It is hoped that these connections made between our students will continue throughout the remainder of Year 11’s time here at the College. A big thank you to our Peer support leaders for being wonderful role models and mentors to our young students. You have made a lasting impact on them. 

Assessment Preparation & Wellbeing Tips 

With Year 7 assessments approaching at the end of term, it’s important to balance study with self-care. Here are a few wellbeing tips to help students stay focused and grounded:

• 🕒 Plan Ahead: Create a simple study schedule to avoid last-minute stress.
• 😴 Prioritise Sleep: A well-rested brain is better at remembering and problem-solving.
• 🚶‍♀️ Take Breaks: Short walks or movement breaks can boost concentration.
• 💬 Talk It Out: If feeling overwhelmed, reach out to a teacher, friend, or family member.
• 🧘 Breathe & Reset: Try deep breathing or mindfulness exercises to stay calm and centred.
