Student Wellbeing Sessions

Over the next couple of weeks, the College’s Wellbeing Team will continue to plan for 2022. Part of this planning is the finalising of the Student Wellbeing Sessions (SWS).  In the past the SWS has focused on student issues, but also on supporting the new vertical house system and building house spirit and identity from a PC level up. Now that house spirit and rivalry are engrained,  the focus of SWS program will widen. The PC staff will continue working with students to address issues that impact them and explore avenues to support students. The new expanded focus of SWS will use presentations offered at the College such as the Cyber Safety and Choizes Programs to support the College community. The new focus will also look to support students in the classroom with the focus on Academic Wellbeing. The College’s Wellbeing Team would greatly value any parent input/feedback into areas they believe the College may need to address to support students. Please contact any member of the College’s Wellbeing Team with your ideas. As parents are their child’s first and most important teacher the College wants to continue working in partnership with parents.

Movember

The Year 12 are again supporting Movember this year. As always they focus on raising awareness of issues in men’s mental health.

If you are able to donate and support the students please do at https://au.movember.com/team/2408567

Deodorant cans

A reminder that students are not permitted to have spray deodorant cans at the College. Some students and staff can have reactions, including asthma attacks when exposed to spray deodorant. Students are recommended to bring roll-on deodorants to continue to smell “minty fresh” and ensure the wellbeing of everyone in our community. Students found with spray deodorant will have the deodorant confiscated and will be spending Break time with their House Leader.

Face Masks

A reminder that students are required to supply their own face masks for use at the College. Since the return from lockdown, the College has supplied in excess of 1000 masks. While we appreciate that students may forget from time to time we do have some repeat offenders.

As always if you have any concerns please contact your child’s PC teacher, House Leader, or any member of the College’s Wellbeing Team.
