Student Wellbeing attends MATILDA!

Well done to all the amazing students and staff who performed in and worked tirelessly behind the scenes in the production of Matilda. Our student wellbeing team attended the event on Friday night and were blown away by the talent of the cast. It is 5 stars from us!

1000 Hearts Project - donation

This week we received a beautiful package of hand sewn hearts as part of the 1000 Hearts Project. A special thank you to one of our lovely parents, Nadia Chiomento, who recognised that our students could benefit with some extra love, kindness, and compassion. If you would like to read more about the project, or would like to become a ‘Heartist’, please check out the 1000 hearts website.

Stay Tuned for Upcoming Family Information Evenings

We will be holding two more family information events before the end of term 4. Northern Centre Against Sexual Assault (NCASA) will be presenting on ‘Pornography and Adolescence’ and Steven Dupon from the Institute of Games will be presenting on ‘The Impacts of Video Games’. Stay tuned for more information.

Upcoming Celebration and Awareness Days

We have some exciting awareness days our school will help celebrate this term. We are looking for students to contribute ideas for how the school can celebrate these events.

• Wear it Purple Day on Friday 26 August: A day to foster supportive, safe, empowering, and inclusive environments for rainbow young people.
• R U OKAY Day on Thursday 8 September: A day to inspire and empower everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and start a conversation with those who may be struggling.

If you would like to suggest a way the school can celebrate these days or have time to volunteer on the day, please see the wellbeing staff in M11.

Breakfast Club- Increasing to 2 days per week

Breakfast Club is currently held in G1 on Monday mornings at 08:30 AM. Thank you to the students who have attended so far. We are excited to announce that we will increase Breakfast Club to be held on Thursday mornings as well. Stay tuned for possible venue change.

We look forward to seeing you there to start the day with a healthy and tasty breakfast.
