End of Term Wellness

As we approach the final weeks of term, it is essential that we finish strong and with a sense of purpose - no mater how fatigued we may be feeling. 

For our students, this looks like;

• Arriving to class on time (moving towards lockers and classrooms when the music begins). Students are expected to line up outside the classrooms and enter when invited into the classroom
• Following directives and instructions from all members of staff
• Using appropriate language inside and outside of the classroom

With school holidays just around the corner it’s crucial for parents and carers to ensure their teenagers are staying safe during their holiday break. Here are some practical tips to help keep your teens safe and entertained during their time off.

Open Communication: Maintain open lines of communication with your teenagers. Encourage them to share their plans and whereabouts with you. This fosters trust and allows you to stay informed about their activities.

Establish Boundaries: Set clear expectations and boundaries regarding curfews, screen time, and social activities. Ensure they understand the importance of respecting these guidelines for their safety.

Supervised Activities: Encourage participation in supervised activities such as sports, camps, or volunteer programs. These structured environments provide a safe space for teens to socialise and learn new skills.

Monitor Online Activity: With more free time, teens are likely to spend additional hours online. Monitor their internet usage and educate them about the dangers of cyberbullying, online predators, and the importance of protecting their privacy.

Promote Healthy Habits: Encourage a healthy lifestyle by promoting regular exercise, nutritious eating, and adequate sleep. Physical activity and good nutrition are essential for both physical and mental wellbeing.

Quality Time: Spend quality time together as a family. Whether it’s a movie night, a day trip, or simply sharing a meal, these moments can strengthen your bond and provide opportunities to discuss any concerns they might have.

We wish all students and families a safe and relaxing holiday break. We look forward to welcoming our students back on Monday 15 July.
