Raise Your Spirits Competition

Here at Sandringham College, we have been focusing on raising spirits in these challenging times. We held a week long photo competition for both staff and students. This competition featured the Olympics, bring your pet to class, crazy hat day and PJs day. Thank you to everyone who entered!

Please see below for some of our fantastic entries!

We will continue to hold competitions to keep all spirits raised. :)

Support Information

Remember that you are not alone in these times! Keep these things in mind when managing any stress or anxiety you may feel at:

• Know the facts – don’t buy in to conspiracy theories and read unreliable resources.
• Limit social media use as this can overwhelm; due to the hype around the virus
• Increase self-care and ensure time outside in nature – even your back yard or balcony.
• Take a few deep breaths and try to relax
• If you are anxious about the virus, that is understandable but focus on what you can control which is keeping yourself clean and having perspective
• Be thankful for what you do have and help your friends to be positive
• Keep calm and speak to a trusted friend/adult/ peer if you are feeling anxious.
• Keep your routine as much as possible
• Stay connected with friends and family
