Looking ahead, the Black Dog Institute is also developing a similar program tailored for students in Years 10 to 12, with plans for release in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We look forward to seeing the positive impact this initiative will have on our students\u2019 digital wellbeing and overall mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australian Olympian Josh Katz Inspires Year 9 Students Through Olympics Unleashed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As part of the Olympics Unleashed program, Year 9 students were privileged to hear from Australian Olympian and Commonwealth Games medallist Josh Katz, who visited the College to share his journey in elite sport and the lessons he\u2019s learned along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josh, a Judoka who made history as Australia\u2019s youngest male Judo Olympian at the Rio 2016 Games, has represented the nation on the world stage for nearly a decade. His career highlights include a bronze medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, multiple Oceania Championship titles and a silver medal at the 2023 Pan American-Oceania Judo Championships <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Josh\u2019s path has not been without setbacks. After missing qualification for the Tokyo Olympics due to injury and the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, he was forced to reassess his goals and mindset. His ability to bounce back, culminating in his qualification for the Paris 2024 Olympics, offered Year 9 students a powerful message of resilience, perseverance and growth through adversity <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josh\u2019s story resonated strongly with the Year 9 cohort, encouraging students to reflect on how resilience can be applied not only in sport but also in their academic, co-curricular and personal pursuits. His visit served as a timely reminder that setbacks are part of the journey, and that with determination and support, they can be overcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elise Whiley<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Teens and Screens: Supporting Digital Wellbeing in Years 7\u20139 This year, students in Years 7 to 9 will participate in the Black Dog Institute\u2019s latest initiative, Teens and Screens, as part of the College\u2019s Pastoral Care program.
