Supporting Each Other Through Wellbeing Initiatives

To say it has been a significant challenge for families and students in 2020 would be a considerable understatement. As a community there have been several initiatives that have been established to assist in supporting their wellbeing and overall health during these challenging times. I have provided specific information below relating to some of the current wellbeing initiatives:

For some students there will be significant anxiety around the return to school next term. I have provided two articles from the Child Mind Institute that will assist families on how to best support their sons/daughters during this time.

R U OK Day

This Thursday 10 September is R U OK Day. The Wellbeing Team have tried to promote and celebrate it in creative ways this year due to not being able to be face to face.

The Student Wellbeing Leaders have shared some conversation starters for you to have with people around you – friends, family, neighbours, fellow students and teachers.

What’s the best conversation you have ever had?

Who’s the person you know you can turn to in a tough situation?

What are the ingredients for a caring and supportive conversation?

What qualities about yourself do you love the most?

What makes you laugh?

If money and fear weren’t an issue, what are 5things you would try/want to do?

What is an interesting fact about yourself, or something you like about a friend?
