We’ve been diving into our new wellbeing program, ‘Grow Your Mind. Each class has a weekly lesson to deepen their understanding of mental health and wellbeing. Topics include resilience, respectful relationships and character strengths.
Here Year 4 is exploring ‘The Wise Owl’, which represents the prefrontal cortex or the part of the brain that helps us make thoughtful decisions. Other activities focus on kindness, bucket filling and finding ways to nurture our minds.
The Flower Dude illustrations remind us that, like flowers, we need daily activities that bring us joy and happiness to truly thrive.
Thank you to wellbeing consultant Courtney Quigley, who is working alongside McAuley staff and hosted a parent gathering this morning to share more about this program.
