Well-being Week 2026

Students embraced a week of fun, connection, and community during Well-being Week, from 8–12 June, enjoying everything from free hot chocolates, to tug-of-war challenges, and a chocolate hunt.

The Prefects and Middle School Leaders worked collaboratively to develop a range of student-led activities which fostered positive emotion, encouraged engagement, and reflected the pillars of PERMA-V, the College’s well-being framework.

These included the popular morning hot chocolates, a non‑uniform day, a bake sale raising funds for Youth Hub Christchurch, and a lunchtime Kahoot quiz in The Green Library and Innovation Centre. Prefects focused on the Relationships pillar, hosting visiting prefects from other schools for connection activities, and an inter‑school netball game, while Middle School Leaders ran a tug‑of‑war and a much-loved activity where students spent their lunch break tracking down Middle School Leaders for a chocolate reward.

The week ended on a high note during Friday in the Quad, with food trucks and music bringing students together. It was a wonderful week which embodied the principles of PERMA-V and provided a welcome boost as the College headed into the winter months.
