Men's Health Week
Men’s Health Week was awesome and a huge success! The week started with blue ribbons being handed out to students at the gate and free fruit at recess, which was a big hit. We also had our annual Men’s Health Week Companion Evening, where keynote speaker Chris Anstey shared his experiences and inspired everyone who attended.
To finish off the week, we held a push-up challenge at recess, with lots of students getting involved and having a go. Later that day, the teachers took on the Year 7 boys in a basketball game. After a fun and competitive match, the Year 7 boys came out on top!
The blue ribbon that was handed out at the start of the week and was worn amongst students was to raise awareness of the physical and mental health issues that men can be going through.
Our school wanted a week full of events that link back to the overall theme of the week to raise as much awareness as possible.
It's important for men to feel able to visit a GP and to speak freely on their mental health.
Men's Health Week reminds us that we should take care of ourselves, so open up about your mental health and don't be afraid to seek help or start a conversation.

This term was a great success for the SRC. We held our term 2 Casual Clothes Day and raised money for the Opening the Doors Foundation, which is an organisation that supports First Nation’s students to attend Catholic schools. It was great to see so many students getting involved, and we are thankful to everyone who donated and supported the day. We raised $1437.00 for this valuable charity!
Another highlight was our annual Student-Led Assembly. The SRC had lots to report on throughout the term, including events, achievements, and things we have been working on behind the scenes. It was a great opportunity to share what we have been doing with the rest of the school.
Throughout the term, the SRC met regularly to discuss ideas and ways to make our school an even better place. We worked together to represent student voices and help organise activities for the school community.
Overall, it has been a busy and successful term, and we are excited for what is coming up next term.
