Wellbeing
Practising Mental Wellness
A survey of a small sample of our Year 12 students revealed that less than half were making mental health their priority. Therefore we have created a ‘Mental Wellbeing Checklist’ that you may like to use during remote learning to encourage practising mental wellness.
Conversation Menu: Helping your child to appreciate diverse perspectives
Our Wellbeing team have created a Conversation Menu to help you open a discussion with your family about diverse perspectives: an important step to building empathy in your child.
