Important Dates 

BurnBright – Altitude – Exploring Foundations – Friday 19 November 

Coming up on Friday 19 November in Week 7, Yr 10 will be participating in a full day program ‘Altitude – Exploring Foundations’ on campus at Redlands lead by the team at BurnBright.

Burn Bright’s Altitude wellbeing program explores the concept that as Yr 10 approach the great heights of their high school journey and look ahead, it’s crucial that they explore the foundations of their character as this is what guides us, not only in our triumphs but also in times of challenge. Throughout the program Yr 10 will delve into the cornerstone skills and reflections needed for oneself to achieve long term personal success. BurnBright believe in a foundation of healthy strong relationships, and exploring intentional relationships attribute to one’s journey in and out of school. Burn Bright believes success is cultivated from a strong support network, but more so, a true understanding of one’s character. 

The Altitude program encourages this practice through exploring daily practices, continued self-reflection, and conversation around how Year 10 students can be the best version of who they are, for themselves and others.

Peer Support Training – Monday 22 November

Placing students at the centre of their learning, Peer Support empowers students with practical skills and strategies to help guide younger students to positively navigate life and relationships. Participating Yr 10 students realise the significant outcomes of the program, including developed leadership, better connectedness, strengthened relationship skills, improved resilience and a greater sense of possibility. At the end of the training, Yr 10 students are able to make a written application to be considered for the role of Peer Support Leader in 2022, building community and working with Yr 7 as they navigate their transition into Secondary School.

Work Exploration and Wellbeing Program – Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 November 

Yr 10 will be participating in a Work Exploration and Wellbeing Program for the final two days of the term. The Work Exploration Day will focus specifically on career avenues, resume writing, interview techniques and professional etiquette and will be facilitated with the assistance of the Redlands University and Careers Advisors, Mrs Fowler and Ms Hurst. On the Wellbeing Day, Year 10 will enjoy activities that support a healthy body and a healthy mind by linking to the 5 Ways to Wellbeing.
