Student Musings on Remote Learning

Wellbeing Positivity Competition
I hope you are all staying safe and taking time for self-care and your personal wellbeing.
To help encourage positivity at home, we have a competition for you! Over the coming three weeks, we have tasks you can participate in to win a $20 voucher prize each week.
Our first week’s theme is “Keeping Calm and Kind during Quarantine.” All you have to do is demonstrate how you are keeping Calm and Kind during this time at home.
You can submit your entry through either Instagram/TikTok using the hashtag # calmduringcovidrsc or submitting your entry to me via email! We encourage you to get as creative as you can and use this fun challenge to celebrate how far we have come as a community so far. Myself and the rest of the wellbeing team are looking forward to seeing you all soon and are excited to see what you can do with this challenge each week.
