To honour Queensland Mental Health Week Bowen State High School's student support service team and students ran activities including a Mindfulness Market.
The Mindfulness Market held last Wednesday, was supported by local community agencies. Students took part in a variety of activities, including creating affirmation rocks, and enjoyed lively performances by both staff and students. The hospitality department also delighted everyone with chocolate mud cake and a range of sweet treats.
Bowen State High School Principal Rob Harris said that the Market was amazing and feedback was positive.
"We had a number of external support agencies attend as well including Girudala Health Team, Headspace Whitsunday, Whitsunday Suicide Prevent Network, Whitsunday Counselling and Support, Selectability and MADEC," he added.
"Our student services team did an amazing job to create an inclusion market for all student to connect with each other and staff. The information and activities provided an opportunity for students to engage in conversations about their mental health and wellbeing.
"Thank you to NQBP for providing a grant to support our mindfulness market. Well done to everyone who got involved in the activities."
On Friday last week, Bibigoo Yumba was buzzing with activity as students made their own anti-stress balls using rice and balloons.
The mental health socks were a huge hit, and Principal Rob Harris said they will continue to sell them to students and staff throughout the term.
