The session was highly engaging, with the presenter involving students through questions, prizes, and the use of anatomical models to provide clear visual examples. The presentation offered valuable insight into the various forms of pelvic, organ, and muscular pain, along with general strategies for managing them. Throughout the session, the presenter emphasised the importance of seeking support from a trusted doctor or adult for any personal health concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Year 9 found this presentation insightful and provided practical solutions to assist young women in managing pain, understanding the anatomy to assist and provided us with a better understanding of the human body and systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Written by Kayla Hill and Charlie Doyle<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-1703bbe6864d89cf0a3ca9f4af5b1253\"><strong>Assessment Block<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Year 9 Assessment Block is underway, providing students with an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of course content covered so far this year. Students have also begun their first exam block, building important skills in managing multiple assessments within a set timeframe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is normal for students to experience some level of stress during exams. However, it is important they are equipped with strategies to manage this effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are encouraging students to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maintain a&nbsp;balanced<strong> <\/strong>routine, including regular sleep and exercise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take&nbsp;short breaks&nbsp;when studying to stay refreshed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speak with teachers, parents, or trusted peers if they feel overwhelmed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focus on effort and progress, rather than perfection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been encouraging to see many students taking advantage of Open Learning sessions to support their preparation. We strongly encourage all students to continue utilising this valuable study time, held each Wednesday afternoon in the school library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-4e6a7aa272cb74a66b5ecf1836656d3b\"><strong>Winter Uniform Reminder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we move through Term 2, all students are expected to be in full winter uniform. This includes wearing the school blazer to and from the College, along with the correct winter uniform items. The full list is shown below and further information can be found in the College diary on Pages 18-21<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We greatly appreciate the continued support of parents and carers in ensuring students meet these expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-20-at-9.34.15-am.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"956\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-20-at-9.34.15-am.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-20-at-9.34.15-am.jpg 956w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-20-at-9.34.15-am-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-20-at-9.34.15-am-768x388.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-20-at-9.34.15-am-297x150.jpg 297w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 956px) 100vw, 956px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have concerns regarding your daughter\u2019s wellbeing, academic progress, or social dynamics, please do not hesitate to contact me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris Shelston<br>Instructional Leader of Wellbeing &#8211; Year 9<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PPEP Presentation&nbsp;12\/5\/26&nbsp;&nbsp; Last week, a presenter from PPEP (Period, Pain, Endometriosis Program) visited our school to speak with students about different types of pain and effective management strategies, with a particular focus on endometriosis.
