Term 3
This term has been filled with meaningful opportunities for our students to learn, reflect, and celebrate as part of our whole-school commitment to wellbeing and inclusion. Across the weeks, our school has engaged with a number of national awareness days and wellbeing events, each one encouraging students to think deeply, show kindness, and build stronger connections with each other.
We marked Bullying No Way! Week, where students explored the importance of respect, empathy, and standing up for themselves and others. Celebrating Diverse Learners Week gave us the chance to shine a light on the strengths, talents, and contributions of every student in our community.
Our students also joined in Women’s Health Week, learning about the importance of health and wellbeing, while Wear It Purple Day saw the school recognize and support LGBTQIA+ young people. On R U OK? Day, students were reminded of the power of a simple question and the importance of looking out for one another.
In addition to these awareness days, we held two of our major annual wellbeing days. Year 10 students took part in workshops led by Project Rockit, focusing on leadership and using their voices for positive change. Our Year 9 students will finish the term with engaging sessions from the Pat Cronin Foundation – which share powerful messages about choices and consequences – and the Butterfly Foundation, which will encourage students to think critically about body image, self-worth, and mental health.
