K-12 Wellness Awareness Week

Term 1, Week 6, 2022

The Corpus Christi College Wellness Awareness Week aims to increase the wellbeing of the students in our school where; ‘the infusion of wellbeing and pastoral care practices within all teaching, learning and social interactions contributes to the development and freeing of each person from within so that they come to share in God’s divine life as an image of Christ and as ‘new creations’.
 
 

The week allows everyone at the College to be reminded about the importance of moments of stillness and at times, slowing down the pace of ever-increasing commitments and looking after each other and ourselves. The awareness week supplements the ongoing, daily wellbeing initiatives permeated throughout each school day at Corpus Christi College K-12.

On the Primary campus, K-6 classes are involved in expressing daily affirmations, enjoy morning fitness routines, participate in Making Jesus Real virtue lessons, delight in the fun of daily ‘Just Dance’ sessions and communicate their questions about the world through Primary Class shared discussion sessions.

On the Secondary campus activities such as Wellbeing on Wednesday (WOW), Pastoral Care Sessions, Daily Homeroom, Inter-house activities, Retreats, mediation sessions, extra-curricular activities and a range of other services provide students with a vast array of opportunities to look after their own wellbeing.
