World Wellbeing Week is from 24^th to the 30^th June, a week to celebrate and raise awareness of the importance of our wellbeing. This global awareness week encourages individuals, schools and workplaces to pause, reflect, and engage in practices that support physical, mental, emotional, social and financial wellbeing across everyday life.

Wellbeing Week looks at our actions to support good mental health, having the power to take charge of our own mental health journey by finding purpose through our engagement within our communities and, through the connection gained from supporting others.

During World Wellbeing Week, we can all take stock of our own wellbeing, as well as look out for the wellbeing of our loved ones and others in our community. As parents and teachers, World Wellbeing Week is the perfect time to provide children and young people with the skills and tools they’ll need to support their own mental health and wellbeing.

Some simple practices to help you with your wellbeing journey are:

• Do a wellbeing activity each day. Keep up a daily self-care practice by taking the time for yourself to do a wellbeing activity, such as journaling, doing yoga, cooking a nourishing meal, or talking with a close friend.
• As a family. Spend some quality time together daily with no distractions or devices. Around the dinner table is a great opportunity to talk, reconnect and check in on how everyone’s day has been. Weekly, set a specific day and time when, as a family, you all do an activity together such as play a game, go to the park, ride a bike or walk the dog together.
• Talk to your children or loved ones about wellbeing. Opening up a conversation about the importance of wellbeing is a great way to celebrate World Wellbeing Week with those close to you. This can be a perfect time to check on your loved ones or speak to someone else about your own mental health. If you want to talk to your child about what is mental health, this short animation video provides a great explanation for children (and adults) to help them understand: Understanding and Supporting Children’s Mental Health
• Learn more about how to look after your wellbeing. World Wellbeing Week is the perfect time to learn more about looking after your own wellbeing. You may discover new ideas that you haven’t thought about before or gain a fresh perspective on how to boost your physical, mental or emotional wellbeing. Use this wellbeing poster to reflect on your own health, where you can make changes for improved wellbeing in your life and in the lives of your loved ones.

Semester 1 reports for all students PP-Year 6 will be available through your SEQTA Engage portal from Friday, 3 July after 4pm.

As part of an exciting new chapter for our Early Years’, our Pre-Kindy and Kindergarten Co-Horts will be introduced to new branding from 2027.  This updated branding will also feature on the Early Years’ uniform range and our School Values.

To support families during this transition, the current uniform will remain acceptable throughout 2027.  This means children may still wear either the current or new style of t-shirt during the 2027 school year.

Please note, that from the beginning of 2028, all Pre-Kindy and Kindy students will be required to wear the new uniform style.

To assist families with this change:

• The new style uniform will be available to purchase from Tara Uniforms from December 2026
• Existing uniforms will be available to purchase through the Admin Office at a clearance price of 3 shirts for $30 *While stocks last*

CEWA has been approached by Dr. Jacqueline McGowan-Jones, Commissioner for Children and
Young People, to participate in a survey to provide insights into how children and young people
across Western Australia experience play in their everyday lives. Broad participation will help
ensure the strategy reflects diverse perspectives across the state.

This will assist in the development of the WA Play Strategy.

We would appreciate it if you could take the time to complete this short survey in the below link.
