This week our Year 11 cohort were very fortunate to be able to listen to guest speaker Nic Newling from ‘The Champions’ along with the team from Headspace. Nic presents around the topics of Mental Health, help seeking and suicide prevention. Nic spoke about his personal journey, including the highs and lows of having a mood disorder in school, the challenges of being misdiagnosed and the grief of loosing loved ones to suicide.
Nic and the Headspace team also discussed the support that is available within the community. Nic’s presentation was emotional, humorous, honest and most importantly, filled with hope.
Our year 11 students were engaged, respectful and responsive to Nic’s presentation!
