WELLBEING SUPPORTS | Frankston High School believes that students can only reach their full educational potential when they are happy, healthy, and safe, and when there is a positive School culture to engage and support them in their learning. Our school acknowledges that student wellbeing and student learning outcomes are inextricably linked. Year Level Leaders can refer students to the Wellbeing Team for support with parental/carer consent. Please contact the Year Level Leaders or the Wellbeing Team if you have any questions or would like your child referred.
An Exercise for Term 2
Every week, try and take small steps to come out of your comfort zone:
do something you never did before
perhaps evaluate and remove something that does not serve you anymore
take a moment to reflect on how this makes you feel, and
perhaps discuss with a trusted friend and/or colleague.
Sometimes, getting out of bed for five minutes and dedicating that time to walking with a friend, or tidying part of a room, or listening to a song you love is enough.
Sometimes success looks like five minutes of every day life. Letting go of self-predjudice and self shame is a necessary step on the way to managing a complex mental illness.
MINDING YOUR MIND
Prof Ian Hickie and James O'Loghlin
Anger - we see it, we feel it and experience it.
Anger can be a sign that something that matters to us is being threatened. Our emotions point to what we care about most, things that are meaningful to us. Watching the news may make you feel angry, especially if you value equity and fairness. If someone lies to you, you may feel anger. This points to the fact that you value honesty. It also ties in with the values that matter most to us. Understanding where one's anger stems from helps us work out which value you anger is pointing to. It can help us frame our understanding of the situation and from there take the next step that is right for us.
