Well-being Week 2025

At St Andrew’s College, student well-being is at the heart of our community. During Term 2, Week 5, our school came together to celebrate Well-being Week, a time to reflect on the importance of caring for our mental, emotional, and physical health.

During Well-being Week in late May, students had the chance to reflect on the importance of caring for their mental, emotional, and physical health, while also celebrating the inclusive and supportive school culture which defines St Andrew’s College.

Under the leadership of Heads of Well-being, Olivia Bloom and Gemma Wong (Year 13,) and the student Well-being Committee, a series of thoughtfully planned events brought the College’s PERMA-V framework to life. This evidence-based model was developed by positive psychologist, Martin Seligman, and outlines the six key components contributing to well-being, resilience, and happiness.

The week’s highlights included a calming origami session to encourage creative flow, a lunchtime panel discussion hosted by the Guidance Team on managing stress, maintaining balance, and supporting one another, and a bake sale with proceeds going to Youthline. The week culminated with a wonderful student-led Well-being Assembly, and a lively Jump Jam session in the Quad which boosted everyone’s mood and energy, and reminded us of the power of physical activity.
