As you may be aware, Wellbeing @ Allenby is our school\u2019s first ever Mental Health and Wellbeing Committee. I am thrilled to report that our team, including Ms. Pryor, Ms. Julian, Ms. Anderson and Ms. Heriban-Nixon, has put in place several successful and effective initiatives. <\/p>\n
Lunchtime Mindfulness is a hit with both students and staff alike. Veronica Takes gives generously of her time to lead mindfulness workshops every Friday for both our junior students and teachers. We have girls and boys lining up for the classes; we are thrilled with the success of this initiative. <\/p>\n
I have coordinated in-house training for staff on Gender-Based Violence Prevention. This is an important component to ensuring inclusive, non-discriminatory treatment of all members of the Allenby community.<\/p>\n
Wellbeing @ Allenby has initiated a lunchtime walking group for staff that encourages teachers to get outside, relax and energize themselves for the afternoon. <\/p>\n
Lastly, we are thrilled that the yoga mats we purchased are being used by various staff to lead yoga and meditation in their classrooms. The students are learning skills to reduce stress and promote wellbeing. <\/p>\n
We are pleased with our progress this year and look forward to continuing to work together with the whole school community to promote wellbeing in years to come. <\/p>\n
