🌿💚 MENTAL HEALTH MONTH – TOGETHER WE THRIVE 💚🌿

October is Mental Health Month, with World Mental Health Day taking place on Saturday 10 October. This year's theme, Together We Thrive, reminds us of the importance of connection, belonging and supporting one another.

At Stocky, we know that every child deserves to feel safe, valued, included and supported. 💚

Our children's mental health and wellbeing are just as important as their learning. The little things we do each day can make a big difference: A friendly smile, taking the time to listen, checking in when something doesn't seem quite right, celebrating the small wins and reminding children that it's okay to ask for help.

As parents, carers, educators and members of our community, we all have a role to play in helping children develop the confidence and skills to navigate life's challenges. By building strong relationships, encouraging open conversations about feelings, teaching positive ways to manage emotions and creating a sense of belonging, we can help our children feel connected and give them the confidence to thrive.

💚 A few simple ways we can support our children's mental health:
✨ Make time to connect and have meaningful conversations.
✨ Listen without judgement and let children know their feelings matter.
✨ Celebrate effort, progress and the little things, not just the big achievements.
✨ Encourage kindness, inclusion and positive friendships.
✨ Remind children that asking for help is a sign of strength.
✨ Look after our own wellbeing, too! Children learn so much from the way we care for ourselves and others.

Most importantly, remember that we don't always need to have the perfect words or all the answers. Sometimes, simply being there, listening and helping a child feel understood is enough to make a meaningful difference.

This Mental Health Month, let's continue working together - school, families and community - to create an environment where every child feels they belong, knows they matter and has the support they need to grow and thrive.

💚 Together, we can make a difference. Together, we thrive.

Good morning,

Today, our school conducted a practice emergency evacuation drill to ensure the safety and preparedness of all students and staff in the event of an actual emergency.
We are pleased to share that every student participated fully and cooperated exceptionally well throughout the drill. Their calm and responsible behaviour helped the process run smoothly and efficiently.

Regular drills like this are an important part of our commitment to maintaining a safe learning environment. We appreciate your support in reinforcing the importance of safety with your children at home.

Prep Students Rocked Their First 100 Days of School 🤘🎸

The Prep students had a wonderful time celebrating 100 Days of School! Throughout the day, they enjoyed a range of fun activities, including making fruit loop necklaces, decorating guitar cookies, creating colourful '100' monsters, and reflecting on all they have learned and achieved in their first 100 days of school. It was fantastic to see everyone's creative costumes and outfits, thank you to all our families for helping make the day so special! We are so proud of how much our Prep students have grown and can't wait to see what they accomplish in the next 100 days!
