Wellbeing Wednesday Trivia Wrap-Up
Over the past four weeks, students across Years 7–12 have taken part in our Wellbeing Wednesday Trivia initiative — a fun, engaging activity designed to spark meaningful conversation and connection within Learning Groups. Each week focused on a different wellbeing theme: Kindness, Mental & Physical Health, Gratitude, and Belonging & Community.
In Weeks 3 and 4, students reflected on the power of gratitude in building happiness and strengthening relationships, as well as the importance of feeling a sense of belonging — both in their friendships and the broader school community. Learning Groups worked collaboratively to answer trivia questions, share stories, and take part in bonus activities like group photos, staff baby photo guessing, and discovering hidden staff talents.
This initiative wasn’t just about points — it was about fostering a culture where students feel seen, supported, and connected. A huge thank you to our staff for guiding these moments with care and enthusiasm, and to our students for embracing each theme with open hearts and minds.
Unity Day – A Celebration of Culture and Community
Last Friday, we celebrated one of the most uplifting events of the school calendar — Unity Day. Students across all year levels came together to share and showcase their cultural backgrounds through food, fashion, music, and performance.
It was truly inspiring to see the collaboration between year groups, with students working together for weeks to prepare dances, songs, and presentations that reflected their heritage and pride. From vibrant traditional costumes to heartfelt storytelling, Unity Day was a powerful reminder of the strength that lies in our diversity and the beauty of a community that celebrates every individual.
Thank you to everyone who performed, participated, and supported this event. You made it a day to remember!
Looking Ahead: Wellbeing Over the Holiday Break
As we head into the Term 2 holiday break, we encourage all students and families to take time to rest, recharge, and look after their wellbeing. Here are some simple, positive ways to support wellbeing over the holidays:
5 Ways to Enhance Wellbeing Over the Break:
- Reconnect – Spend quality time with family and friends without screens.
- Be Active – Go for walks, ride a bike, swim, or try a new physical activity.
- Get Creative – Draw, cook, write, play music, or explore a hobby you enjoy.
- Reflect – Keep a journal, practice gratitude, or simply pause and breathe.
- Sleep Well – Try to keep a regular sleep routine to feel rested and balanced.
The holidays are a perfect time to reset. Whether it’s enjoying quiet moments or doing something fun with loved ones, prioritising wellbeing now will set students up for a confident and positive start to Term 3.
We wish all students and families a safe, relaxing, and joyful holiday break.
