Emotional, Social and Mental Wellbeing

We feel that nurturing the emotional, social and mental wellbeing of our school community is vital for helping each other flourish.

Activity Ideas

To help promote mindfulness and wellbeing, there are lots of activities to do beyond colouring books and deep breathing.

The Positive Psychology Program website has a range of suggestions.

Your Therapy Source has some good ideas and Big Life Journal has a variety of free resources and information available.
