Community Wellbeing
There's nothing crazy about wellbeing
The college's wellbeing team has put together some simple activities for Wellness Week next week, providing daily opportunities for all students to take a moment to care for their physical, social and emotional wellbeing. The week will conclude with a Crazy Hair and Casual Clothes Day for all students and staff on Friday, November 18. This is to promote the message, "There's Nothing Crazy About Wellbeing!" Two of our Year 3 children, Avaya and Jemma, came up with the Crazy Hair Day idea and have been promoting the initiative by visiting learning spaces across the college to speak about Crazy Hair Day.
