CSPD Student Leadership Meeting
On Wednesday afternoon this week, the College Student Leadership Team participated in a workshop with facilitators from Catholic Schools Parramatta Diocese (CSPD). They gave the students a scenario, and students formed small groups to brainstorm possible solutions. The scenario was how CSPD could establish a Student Leadership group for the whole of the Parramatta Diocese - which is a big task since there are over 80 schools! The students did a tremendous job working out some possible solutions. The facilitators congratulated the students on their ideas, but also for their collaborative efforts. CSPD definitely took away some pretty amazing ideas! Congratulations to all our Student Leaders.
Brainstorm Productions
Brainstorm Productions is a theatre group that has been performing plays at St Andrews College for many years, enhancing our Wellbeing Program. Through their performances, they are able to empower students with practical strategies to strengthen their mental health, resilience and wellbeing. In 2024, Brainstorm Productions will present one play to our Junior Students: Wired. ‘Wired’ tackles some of the big issues affecting Australian students, including social isolation, bullying, online safety, school stressors, family relationships and pressure from social media. It also addresses barriers to help-seeking and provides strategies for resilience, problem-solving, goal-setting and positive mental health. Year 9 & 10 will see the play today (May 10). Year 7 & 8 will see Wired on September 13. Aspects of the plays will be discussed in Wellbeing lessons after the play.
