A message from the Student Wellbeing Coordinator
Ashley Oehler
Wellbeing has kicked 2026 off with a bang! We’ve had a great time making fidget spinners, coming to your assemblies, and opening our doors to all our students.
A friendly reminder that each day of the week there is a different lunch time program that runs. On Monday we have Kingston Youth Services join us. On Tuesday, we host our LGBTQIA+ Club ‘Rainbow Dash’. On Wednesdays we host chess club, Thursdays we have drop in and on Fridays we host Feel Good Fridays to celebrate another week down and get you feeling good for the weekend!
