Self-awareness is the ability of oneself to be ‘in tune’ with our attitudes, emotions and actions. We know that people who have a high level of self-awareness and are cognisant of their internal experiences can recognise that their external responses have an impact on others.
This term, the theme for the Wellness program is self-awareness. Skills in self-awareness are refined over time; we are always working on ourselves in order to be the best person we can be for us as individuals, and for the communities around us. ÃØÉ«´«Ã½ will spend time this term looking at self-awareness as learners; how students can identify when they need help. We will explore positive relationships and how self-awareness is an important factor in maintaining positive relationships with our friends.
This week we were able to finally launch the ÃØÉ«´«Ã½ College Big Sister Little Sister program. Year 7 and Year 12 students were able to meet one another this week as they shared lunch. In Week 5, the Year 7s and Year 12s will be invited to attend a breakfast event and later in the term they will have the opportunity to spend time together in a dedicated Wellness lesson.
It has been a busy week of launching new programs at ÃØÉ«´«Ã½ as we also had the first meeting of our new student group, Vox. The aim of this group is to give voice to our student body on a range of local, national and global issues affecting adolescents.
We are so excited about the Wellbeing opportunities that are available for our students this term!
