This month, a presentation was held for Year 1 and 2 by our School Psychologist, Ms. Theodora Constantinou. The event focused on the importance of positive self-talk, and how it can help students overcome negative thoughts that can impact their mental health. The students were engaged in a video presentation and an interactive game that reinforced the importance of positive thinking.

“I am incredibly proud of our students for their excellent behaviour and active participation during the ‘positive self-talk’ presentation. Their enthusiasm and willingness to learn were truly inspiring, and I have no doubt that they will use what they learned to enhance their well-being and success in the future.” – Theodora Constantinou, Med High Psychologist.
