2020 (2021) Tokyo Paralympic Games
As we farewell the Olympic Games and the excitement it brought into many households across the world, we now prepare ourselves to watch and celebrate our Paralympic athletes.
These athletes representing their countries, have worked hard to get themselves ready to participate in the hope of achieving their goals, but for many they have already achieve much more. Many of the Paralympic athletes have had to overcome many obstacles their entire life and now have the opportunity to live out their dream of competing for their country.

Strategies for Family Health and Wellbeing
In light of everything happening across our nation currently, I thought it would be beneficial to share a clip of Hugh from The Resilience Project appearing on Channel 10’s ‘The Project’ last week. Hugh discusses strategies to support our mental health during this difficult time. They are simple and practical strategies we encourage all members of our school community to share with their family.
For more information and wellbeing strategies check out TRP@Home: https://theresilienceproject.com.au/at-home/
The Resilience Project strategies and resources have been used in our Student Diaries and other resources as part of our Pastoral Care program. These resources focus on three key pillars proven to cultivate positive emotion; known to our students as GEM (‘Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness’). Our programs also have a strong focus on Connection, Purpose, Kindness, Emotional Literacy and Physical Health.
