This Term the SRC have continued to raise awareness of Mental Health and how we can help and support each other. We have been involved in the following:

• Bathrooms – We have been brightening up our bathrooms as studies have identified this space as a place student go to when feeling sad, angry, anxious, or worried. We have used some bright colours and some colourful quotes to make this a more positive space. Thanks to Bunnings for supporting us with this project.
• Green and Gold Day – The SRC and House Captains combined to run a number of different sports with each class to celebrate the Olympics.
• Sensory Baskets – The SRC used some of money the school won in a wellbeing competition to buy some equipment to create sensory baskets for each classroom. Mrs Jensen who is a Doctor of Psychology came and spoke to us about how the brain works and how our body reacts to stressful situations and some strategies as to how we can become calm again. We purchased a number of calming tools i.e. squishy balls, bubble blowing and puzzles to help students calm and regulate their emotions.
• Pyjama Day – Is a day in which we wear our Pyjamas to create awareness about children in care and developing empathy as to how this would affect them and also to raise money to support these children.

Footy Colours and Saveloys – Is a fun day to celebrate an Australian tradition of the AFL Grand Final.
