Mental Health Week
From 14 to 18 October, we celebrated Mental Health Week at St Albans Secondary College, and what an incredible week it was! Activities ranged from pot decorating and planting, to poster competitions and live band performances, creating a vibrant atmosphere of engagement and fun. The participation from students and staff was outstanding as we came together to raise awareness about the importance of mental health in schools.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone involved in organising these events, especially our CPR ambassadors, whose dedication, passion, and drive were invaluable. These students played a key role in the planning and execution of every event.
We’d also like to extend our gratitude to Brimbank Youth Services, Headspace, Bunnings and 1000 Generations for their generous support of our students.
Congratulations to the winners of the poster competition, and a huge thank you to all who submitted their incredible artwork – it was truly a tough decision, as each piece was unique and inspiring. We will be displaying the beautiful artwork in Wellbeing soon.
It has been inspiring to see our school come together and grow our mindset around mental health. As a strong community let’s continue raising awareness about the importance of mental health throughout the year and support one another, and find fulfilment in your hard work as we head into the final term. I know our CPR Ambassadors can’t wait to start working on next year’s mental health week activities!
As always if you or someone you know needs support please come and see us.
