Neurodiversity Week

Neurodiversity week – 17th March – 20th March  

Heathmont College’s neurodivergent community is a core part of what makes us so unique from other schools. We understand that each person is different, so being able to celebrate each individual’s sparkle is such a beautiful thing. 

Week 8 saw the celebration of Neurodiversity Awareness Week! This week celebrates and promotes awareness for conditions such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Dyslexia, Tourette’s Syndrome, Synesthesia, and so many others. This week had some really fun activities such as origami, coloring in, Minecraft Club, and a Rubix cube competition, aimed at helping promote positive mental health and even possibly form new friendships through common interests shared by many members of the neurodivergent community. 

It was so fun getting to see such a fun and proud side of Heathmont, and I really look forward to the next event! 

Much Love,
