Celebrating Wellbeing Week and Looking Ahead to Term 4

As we reach the final week of Term 3, this edition looks back on a wonderful Wellbeing Week and looks ahead to three important updates for the holidays and the start of Term 4: our move to the summer uniform, an upgrade to the Hillary toilets, and a note on road safety near the College.

Celebrating Wellbeing Week

Wellbeing Week was once again one of the true highlights of our calendar, filled with a wonderful energy of kindness, wellbeing and celebration throughout the day. Students came together to paint a mural for our Wellbeing House, enjoyed a visit from Farmer Daryl's mobile animal farm, added colour and conversation with a henna artist, and marked RUOK Day by swapping their uniforms for comfy clothes, a simple and genuine way to check in with each other. The week also saw students fundraising for RUOkay Day. None of this happens without the dedication of many people. Particular thanks go to our Wellbeing Captains, Sophie Dunn and Elissa Balancy Mazou in the Senior School, and Anna Dunn, Matilda Gibson and Molly Cusack in the Junior School, who led the week with such heart and creativity. Thank you also to our Wellbeing Counsellors, Rene Spence, Maddy Wood, Samantha Sequeira and Paul Hopkins, for the energy and support they gave the day, and to our Arts staff and Art Technician Peter Ashman for their collaboration and support throughout the week. It was a genuine team effort, and it showed.

Summer Uniform for Term 4

As we move into Term 4, students will return to the summer uniform. As it has been some time since it was last worn, we encourage families to check over the holidays that the fit and length are still correct, and to visit the uniform shop if a new size is needed. Full details are available in the uniform brochure, linked in the tile on Daily Messages or via the link below.

Facilities Update: Hillary Toilets

Work will soon begin on rebuilding the Hillary toilets. This project is expected to take several weeks and will continue into the start of Term 4. Interim portable toilets, including an ambulant/accessible toilet, will be in place and ready for student use from the first day of Term 4. We appreciate the community's understanding while this important upgrade is completed.

A Reminder on Road Safety

We have received a small number of reports regarding the safety of students crossing roads near the College, particularly on High Street at busy times. We will share further information at the start of Term 4, but wanted to raise this now as a timely reminder to have a conversation at home over the break about road rules, and the importance of using the designated crossing zone when crossing High Street.

Wishing you all a safe, restful and happy holiday break. We look forward to welcoming students back for Term 4.
