HEALTHY ME EXPO:
On Thursday 5th December it was the final My Education Day of the year. As part of this, the Peer Support Leaders organised the Healthy Me Expo. This Expo was available for each Grade to access for a one hour block during the day. It was designed to promote organisations and agencies in the community which young people can access. This promotion is centred around the idea of making healthy choices for their mind, body and soul. This year Launceston College brought along their Virtual Reality equipment to run a mindfulness VR experience. The ever popular Zorb Ball soccer was run by the YMCA and was chance to let students blow off steam. Students were able to make their own stress balls both with the Migrant Resource Centre and Relationships Australia. There was a games and reading chill-out zone, Teen Challenge ran a drug knowledge quiz for lollipops and a guess the lolly jar competition, The Cancer Council ran games and challenges. The Salvation army were busy all day with glitter tattoos and badge making. Other exhibitors included Kimbal McMahon who instructed people on their energy levels, Youth Health bought the popular massage chairs and giant Jenga, Gideons and Family Planning gave valuable guidance when visited by the students. The Peer Support Team would like to thank each and every exhibitor who came and took part in the Expo. It is an event the students and staff really enjoy every year and it was excellent to see everyone engage so highly and take advantage of everything that was on offer. Congratulations to everyone involved.
