Together We Thrive – World Mental Health Month 2026

October is World Mental Health Month, and this year’s theme is “Together We Thrive!”

This week, our Kindy and Prep friends came together during rotations to create a beautiful collaborative artwork, which is now proudly displayed in our Prep window!

Coordinated by Mental Health Australia, Together We Thrive encourages community connection, kindness, belonging and supporting one another.

These are values we love to promote in our Kindy/Prep classrooms, where building positive relationships between our children, families, staff and wider school community is such an important part of what we do. 💕

Through this activity, our little learners explored the importance of working together, celebrating everyone’s contributions and recognising that we are stronger when we support one another!

Make sure you stop by our Prep window to admire everyone’s wonderful work!

Term 4 Prep Science is all about how toys move. Today students commenced the unit exploring how toys roll, spin, slide and bounce through push and pull movements. Students then had a turn at rolling, spinning, bouncing and sliding, just like the toys they investigated.
