秀秀直播 News Term 4 Week 4: From the Deputy Principal Wellbeing Secondary
Mobile Phones
As you may be aware, the WA Education Minister, Sue Ellery announced that a ban on mobile phones will be implemented for all State Schools from 2020 onwards. Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) Executive Director, Dr Debra Sayce, has reaffirmed that CEWA Principals and leadership teams are responsible for setting policy on mobile phones at their schools, in consultation with their communities.
At 秀秀直播, we are constantly monitoring the use of the technology at the school and how we can best support, educate and protect our students. As of 2020, students will not be allowed to have their mobile devices on them during the school day. Students may choose to leave their devices at home or place them in their bag/locker throughout the school day.

Your Move Conference
Last week, three of the 秀秀直播 Nature team attended a conference about sustainability and transport. The conference 鈥淵our Move鈥� was facilitated by Millennium Kids and hosted by the City of Stirling. We were lucky enough to work with local primary schools to discuss and create solutions to reduce the environmental impact of transportation to and from school.
Did you know that transportation accounted for 14% of our carbon footprint? Unfortunately, in Australia this figure is increasing at a rate of 2.5% per year. What can we do to help minimise our carbon footprint?
The two-day conference was informative, interesting and has helped the team to come up with many new ideas that we are excited to implement throughout the College this term and in 2020.
Thank you to Miss Monisse and Mrs Ognenis who attended the conference with us. Thank you to 秀秀直播 for offering us the opportunity to be involved in a dynamic and informative conference, and their ongoing support in making our community more and more environmentally aware.

Healthy Headspace: Part 2 鈥� Nutrition & Physical Activity
Good nutrition during the teenage years is critical in supporting physical development, and can also help with sleeping patterns, energy levels, and overall health and wellbeing. During adolescence, the need for energy, protein and vitamins increases, so it鈥檚 important to have a range of healthy foods available. In order for teens to get all of the nutrients they need, they should be eating mainly from the core food groups, including vegetables, fruit, whole grains, proteins (e.g. lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts, seeds), and dairy products or their alternatives (mostly reduced fat).
Physical activity is also essential for both overall health and mental wellbeing. This can be anything that gets the body moving and increases heart rate. Activities such walking, playing team sports with friends, dancing or swimming, will help your child to release stress and improve their mood. Even small amounts of physical activity can provide a distraction from unhelpful thoughts and improve concentration. You may be assist your child by helping them to find a physical activity that they will enjoy doing on a聽 regular basis.
Taking a family approach to eating well, along with the promotion of regular physical activity, helps teenagers to develop habits that will allow them to be both physically and mentally healthy into the future.
