☀️ ☀️ What a scorcher of a day it was yesterday for our Cultural Fest. Other than amazing performances, we were treated to Rush Munro's ice cream. Just what a hot day needed. Yum! 🍧🍦

It’s Invisible Disabilities Week (19–25 October)! 🌻💛

It’s estimated that around 80% of disabilities are non-visible. These can include neurological, cognitive, sensory, mental health and chronic conditions that aren’t always immediately apparent.

Not all disabilities are visible, but a little understanding and kindness can go a long way in helping everyone feel seen, understood and supported.

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower helps people with non-visible disabilities discreetly indicate that they may need additional support, understanding or patience. 🌻

Day 3 of Mental Health Awareness Week was a smash hit at Hastings Learning Centre today. 58 students and staff connected over karakia, kai, kōrero and rock painting, with our student wellbeing advisor busy in the kitchen making barista-style hot drinks for everyone. Simple moments of connection make the biggest difference. ☕️ 🎨 🌞

Fun fun fun! Lots of learning and laughs at our lunchtime Kahoot on day 2 of Mental Health Awareness Week. The topic was the correlation between mental health and ADHD, as it is also ADHD Awareness Month. Well done to Team Uno for being overall winners and Team Nursing Baddies for taking out the best name. Wellbeing boosted ✅
