Wellbeing over the holidays

During the summer break there are ways in which you can support your child’s wellbeing. This is what we suggest:

  • create ways for family connection
  • getting off screens and back in to nature
  • social connections and fun activities
  • do things that promote calm, relaxation, rest, and physical health and wellbeing. 

Santa Sabina College is situated between several Headspace Centres, which all aim to be youth friendly, and serve as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for any concerns you may have around the mental health and wellbeing of your young people.
