Assistant Principal - Pastoral Care

Rest is vital for better mental health, increased concentration and memory, a healthier immune system, reduced stress, improved mood and even a better metabolism. 

It can be difficult to define rest because it can look different for everyone. Rest is any behaviour aimed at increasing physical or mental well-being. It can be active, such as going for a walk outside, or passive, such as taking 10 minutes to sit down and breathe deeply.

With work, school, homework, after school activities, friends and more, there are countless activities that compete for time on the family calendar. Holiday breaks can also provide a break from our heavy schedules. Family time can serve as an escape from the demands and deadlines of daily life, and is paramount in building strong relationships. 

Please do all you can to have a break with the family this holiday season and take the time to remember what Jesus did for us all over 2,000 years ago. 

As the holidays draw to a close, please make every effort to support the College on Anzac Day by marching at one of the local venues (in full College academic uniform). An email highlighting the different times will appear on Compass soon (if it has not already made its way there).
