Wellbeing Update

The EMPOWER (educate, mindfulness, progress, obstacles, wellness, emotions, regulation) program that focused on teaching a group of Year 7 students about managing stress and anxiety concluded this term.

The small group of Year 7’s celebrated with a party and some games to acknowledge what they had learnt and strengthen their friendships.

The program ran over 6 weeks with 5 of these occurring during remote and flexible learning so the wellbeing team members, Tenille and Mel, were so proud of the student’s commitment and perseverance through the unique delivery of the program.

The program focused on managing stress, noticing symptoms of anxiety and strategies to cope with stress in the future.

The program was a great success with amazing feedback.
