WELLLBEING CORNER

Wellbeing Activities week 8 & 9

Wear it Purple Day

Students celebrated Wear it Purple Day during lunch time, in wellbeing, with special guests from Headspace Mildura, Bree and Finely.  Students made their own bracelets and badges and were given goodie bags with all things purple!

Sexual Health Week

During Sexual Health week at Red Cliffs Secondary College, we started the week with the Core of Life program which was delivered to all year 9 students by Secondary School Nurses, Jacinta Miller, and Carol Elliot. Students learnt about pregnancy, childbirth, contraception, STI’s and where to seek more information/support.

On Thursday, the Red Cliffs Secondary College Doctors in School’s Clinic (SCHS) and wellbeing team hosted an open clinic, where students participated in activities and won prizes!  Congratulations to Jeneva Osborne and Nicola Cook who won the ‘guess how many condoms in the jar’ competition and secured themselves some chocolate and a $25 gift card for Mildura City Heart provided by Sunraysia Community Health Services.

Peer Leaders

On Thursday, our year 10 Peer Leaders spoke to the Year 9 students about what it takes to be a Peer Leader.  Students spoke well and were able to educate the year 9’s on the amazing experience they had on their journey as Peer Leaders.  Students spoke about how they supported year 7’s through their transition to secondary school, and how they have bonded as a group.
