Wellbeing Weekly: Term 3 Wellbeing Starts Here!

Each week Gleneagles provide our Wellbeing News - your space for practical tips and conversations around health and wellbeing. Each edition explores a variety of topics designed to inspire wellbeing across our community.

Welcome back to school after the holidays. We hope everyone had the chance to rest, recharge and enjoy time with family and friends. As we move into Term 3, we continue through the winter season, which can sometimes bring challenges for both our physical and mental wellbeing.

Staying in Routine

Returning to school routines can take a little time, especially during the colder, darker days. Maintaining consistent sleep habits, aiming for regular bedtimes, and limiting screen time before sleep can support energy levels, focus and overall wellbeing throughout the school day.

Looking After Ourselves in Winter

As the colder weather continues, it’s important to:

Dress warmly and come prepared for chilly mornings
Stay active, even when it feels easier to stay indoors
Eat nourishing foods and keep hydrated

Supporting Mental Wellbeing

This time of year can sometimes impact mood and motivation. It’s completely normal to have ups and downs, especially as we settle back into learning.

Please remember:

Take things one step at a time as you ease back into routines
Reach out to a trusted teacher, wellbeing staff member or counsellor if you need support
Check in on friends and classmates – small acts of kindness make a big difference

Let’s continue to look after ourselves and each other as we move through Term 3 together. We look forward to a positive, supportive and healthy term ahead.
