TIMBOON P-12 School students celebrated all things wellbeing last week.
Wellbeing Week co-ordinator Jarrad Cook said Wellbeing Week was held during the last week of term and saw students engage in an array of activities.
Activities included:
-A Pyjama day;
-Read to daycare children
-RUOK encouraging students to notice the signs of mental health struggles;
-Footy Colours Day;
-Animal therapy
-Disco; and

Mr Cook said the program was initially called Kids Matter Day, then transferred to Kids Matter Week and over the past two years it has become Wellbeing Week.
“The week provides the opportunity for all P-12 students to celebrate the many aspects of wellbeing, from meaningful, purposeful work to physical, mental and emotional health, social resilience, and leadership,” he said.
“Thank you to all guest speakers, community organisations and school students who volunteered their time to support the week.
“It is hugely appreciated by our students, staff, parents and local community.”
The themes of the week were social connection, movement, sleep, healthy mind and nutrition.
