21.01.2022 Over the last few weeks students in year 7 - 10 have been engaging in the Bite Back Challenge from The Block Dog Institute. They have been looking at ways to improve their mental fitness. Ask them about how they show gratitude, what their character strengths are or even how they practice mindfulness. Maybe you'd like to do the activities with them. By the end of term, they should have a fun mental fitness plan that they can share with you too! https://www.biteback.org.au/MentalFitnessChalle/FindOutMore
