This year, the SRC have been focusing on Mental Health. Last term, we held an Anxiety Awareness day and this term we have organised with Bunnings to have our Grade 5 and 6 toilets repainted in more positive colours. The purpose of this was that we discovered that the toilets are often a place where people go when they are feeling down so we wanted to make this a more positive space. We are also going to put some positive quotes in bright colours on the doors and walls of the toilets.

We were lucky enough to have Mrs Jensen (Psychologist) come and talk to us about how the brain works and some helpful tips on how to regulate our emotions. We then visited the classrooms and talked to the students about the session.
