What is the Wellbeing Portfolio?
Wellbeing involves all dimensions of health and our aim as a portfolio is to support students so that they can lead happier and healthier lives! To ensure students lead healthier lives, we will implement and provide approved initiatives and resources to students for their own personal use. Additionally joining the portfolio also means you get to be involved in many activities and further develop your understanding of what wellbeing is to you!

SRC Day was held on August 14th, between B and C block to promote the Student Representative Council. The Wellbeing Portfolio Team created an event that focused on enhancing physical and mental health.
Two students competed against each other by answering the questions surrounding physical and mental health, whilst holding weights in their hand parallel from the ground. If player A answers quickly and correctly they can put the weights down and rest their arms whilst player B has to continue holding the weight. Then, if player B gets the next question right, they can rest their arms and player A has to start holding up the weight again. The first to answer five questions correctly wins and were given sweet treats!

On this day, we set up a table with assorted coloured paper where people could trace their hands and write a kind message on the hand and on another table were strips of coloured paper where people wrote their names and decorated them which were added onto a paper chain, representing the growing of connections and the idea of togetherness.
R U OK? day is a health promotion charity that emphasises that a conversation can help others through difficult times and encourages people to stay connected. R U OK? also promotes and contributes to suicide prevention by enouraging others to invest more attention and time to personal relationships and their support network - friends, family and associates - having a conversation could help identify signs of stress or difficulty.
On Wednesday the 13th of September, we hosted a thrilling event in honour of RUOK day/week. We were excited to introduce a basketball showdown, TEACHERS against STUDENTS. This event was held to spread awareness to those who are struggling with their everyday lives. This year's theme is "I'm here to hear", reinforcing how you don't need a qualification to talk to someone about their mental health. This event helped emphasise connectivity and inclusiveness within the Braybrook College community!
