On Wednesday 26th August, Belridge SC welcomed Adam from Armed for Life to speak with students from Years 7-10. Adam shared his personal story about overcoming battles with bullying, mental health and personal struggles throughout his life. He is driven by the goal to help teenagers develop resilience and increase their well being. Students were engaged in different presentations throughout the day:

Year 7: Bullying
Year 8: Managing Emotions
Year 9: Respect
Year 10: Decision Making and Self Esteem

Adam’s stories, knowledge and advice was greatly appreciated by our students who were able to hear the “truth” about some of these topics and reflect on their own personal experiences and actions. 

This semester we are asking our students to consider “kindness” within the school community, which ties in with these presentations. Students will be rewarded for their random acts of kindness towards their peers and other staff.
