22.01.2022 In New South Wales, it is currently Multicultural Health Week! We thought this would serve as a fantastic reminder to our own multicultural community about the importance of mental health. Fountain Gate Secondary College is incredibly lucky to serve as a safe place for diverse practices and beliefs. We are so grateful for our amazing students, staff and families that make up our College community and the wealth of values and traditions that are shared as a result. ... Multicultural Health Week has been held annually since 2009 to raise awareness of health issues experienced by culturally and linguistically diverse communities and ways of addressing these issues. The theme for 2020 is: Health Literacy and Safe Use of Medicines. Below is a link to the Multicultural Health website which contains translated resources, videos and links to mental health and the safe use of medicine. It is very important that we are continuing to check up on loved ones, friends and family during this time. We also have an incredible Wellbeing Team at FGSC and EAL Team headed by Mrs. Worth who can be contacted! https://www.mhcs.health.nsw.gov.au/ https://www.mhcs.health.nsw.gov.au//safe-use-of-medicines-

16.01.2022 Year 10 Photography Mass Isolation Workshop # 5: Portraiture Presented by Melbourne Street photographer Jesse Marlow A portrait is an image of a person that tries to capture who they are or something unique about them and was our subject for week 5. ... Students needed to convince people who they have been spending their time in isolation with to let them take their portrait (we included pets and self-portraits). Lighting was a very important aspect of this photo shoot, along with the photographers perspective - where they were positioning themselves - and the overall composition (being very mindful of the backdrops and busy backgrounds). This was a more difficult photo shoot activity; however, the following students handled the task commendably, submitting carefully considered portraits.
