Kinnoull Campus
Year 10 - 12
Students returned to Kinnoull looking refreshed and excited to be back with their peers, ready to
re-commence their academic year. Students spent the morning sharing their summer experiences within their wellbeing mentor groups.

Following this, each House Coordinator facilitated a formal House assembly, outlining their vision whilst highlighting the College expectations for 2022. Initial focus areas include ensuring students are wearing their uniform in accordance to the College Uniform Policy, attendance, developing healthy learning routines and goals.
|
After the summer break, it’s normal for students to experience some anxiety about returning to the new school year. Research shows that students who develop their own learning goals for the new year are more likely to be motivated and quickly re-establish good learning behaviours. Students will work with their GROW teachers to identify their own 2022 SMART learning goals.

It is important that your son establishes a positive self-care plan. Maintaining balance within his daily routine is critical to his ongoing positive wellbeing. This includes:
|
- At least 8 - 10 hours of sleep and an hour of exercise per day
- A balanced diet to ensure a healthy mind and body
- The presence of meaningful relationships with family and friends
- Daily mindfulness enables students to focus their attention on the current moment, with an attitude of acceptance and curiosity
These protective wellbeing measures have been scientifically proven to improve emotional regulation, mental health, memory and learning. Should you have any concerns regarding your son's wellbeing or academic progress, please initially reach out to his House Mentor.
