Well Being Disconnect to Reconnect

Disconnect To Reconnect Unplug For Increased Happiness
NEWS / 3 April 2023

Findings from our Wellbeing questionnaire and Student focus groups suggest that students find lack of sleep and overuse of Social Media are the main negative impactors on their Wellbeing.

This was no surprise given the last 3 years we have all been through, where during lockdowns we heavily relied on social media to stay connected. Working as a team with you, we want to empower our students to make more powerful decisions around their own wellbeing. Our new Wellbeing theme for next year is "Disconnect to Reconnect"

To understand the issues better we asked our parents to consider how they empower their child to be more responsible with their phone and social media usage AND to consider how they encourage their child to be prepared for school and learning each day.
