Across Monday and Tuesday of Week 11, our Year 10 students travelled to Semaphore for their annual Wellbeing Days, diving into the themes of self-esteem, mindfulness, and managing the day-to-day pressures of senior schooling life. With a balance of thoughtful conversations, mindful bracelet making, challenges on the beach involving practical stress management strategies, and creating labyrinths in the sand to symbollicaly mark their journeys into senior school, students had space to reflect on their personal journeys and the path that lies before them.

These days were all about building stronger connections with themselves and each other and acknowledging how students can develop a variety of strategies to navigate the pressures of teenage life with confidence and calm.
