BHS MENTAL HEALTH & WELLBEING EXPO.

Our mental health and wellbeing affects how we think, feel and act. It also helps us determine how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices.

Feeling down, tense, angry or anxious are all normal emotions, but when these feelings persist for long periods of time they may be part of a mental health problem.

If and when this happens to us, or our friends, we need to know that there are people to help us. We do not have to deal with our problems alone.

It is important that we know how to access these services.

Here at Bomaderry High School, we had our first Mental Health & Wellbeing Expo. It was a great success as many local organisations and services volunteered their time to run wellbeing focused activities and deliver useful information to students and staff.

Bomaderry High School would formally like to acknowledge and thank the local organisations and businesses that volunteered their time to be a part of the BHS expo.

We are seeking interest from families to host the students in pairs for the four nights.

Each hosting family will be given $120 towards the cost of food and travel expenses to and from school. The visitors will attend classes with their hosting students and two joint excursions have been organised for the group.

The itinerary is:

Monday 19th Nov: Yangpyeong HS students arrive

As the Yangpyeong students have indicated an interest to email their host families prior to the visit, we would appreciate your response no later than Friday 26th October 2018.

This is a wonderful opportunity for your family and we hope that you can become involved.
