From the 7th to the 13th October 2018 is Mental Health Week and the Student wellbeing team decided to celebrate this week with a range of activities that helped promote looking after yourself and your friends.
On the 8th they handed out little self-help cards to students and staff to promote seeking help and self-care.
On the 9th Ms. Shaw came and ran a mindfulness/meditation session at lunchtime for any student interested that focused on taking time out to stop and be in the moment as a way of promoting positive mental health.
On the 10th a FREE and healthy breakfast was provided to about 250 students of yoghurt, muesli and fruit as well as the Lions club providing a hot breakfast in partnership with Bellarine Community Health’s Youth hub. This was to promote starting the day with a healthy breakfast to encourage positive mental health through healthy diet.
On the 11th a celebratory lunch was provided to the Year 12 students to acknowledge their hard work throughout the year. Their resilience and determination are a great example of how perseverance can lead to great success. The funding for this lunch was obtained from the Achievement Program – Healthy Eating and Oral Health Benchmark.
On the 12th a game of staff vs. students dodgeball was due to be played but unfortunately needed to be cancelled due to not having enough staff – perhaps they were a little scared of the students beating them?
All in all we had a fantastic week of promoting positive messages around looking after your mental health and reducing the stigma around accessing help.
