💜 Supporting student wellbeing starts with making sure our young people know they are not alone and that help is available when they need it. 🌿✨

As part of Killester’s Wellbeing Week, we hosted a Wellbeing Expo at lunchtime, giving students the opportunity to connect with local services and learn more about the support available to young people in our community.

🤝 We were pleased to welcome representatives from Headspace Dandenong, City of Greater Dandenong Youth and Family Services, and the Noble Park Youth Committee. Students were able to chat with representatives, ask questions and find out more about the programs, services and opportunities available to them. 💬🌟

Thank you to everyone who helped make the Wellbeing Expo a valuable opportunity for our students to connect, learn and feel supported. 💜

🌿 Each September, Christians around the world pause for the Season of Creation - a shared time of prayer, learning and action for our common home. 🌏🙏

🌱 On Monday 7th September, the Green Team organised a school clean up - to care for our common home at Killester College. 💚🧹

Thank you to all of the staff and students who volunteered to take action in this important ecumenical season of the Church. 🙏🌿

This Season of Creation 🍂🌿, students in their RE classes have been exploring the life and spirituality of St Francis of Assisi, and today they brought their learning off the page and onto our walls! 🎨✨

Inspired by Francis's Canticle of Creation, students reflected on Brother Sun ☀️, Sister Water 💧, Mother Earth 🌍, Brother Wind 🌬️, Brother Fire 🔥 and Sister Moon 🌙, considering what they appreciate about each element of creation, and one small, practical way they can care for it this week. 🙏

This year's global Season of Creation theme is Living Water 💦, calling us to immerse ourselves more deeply in caring for our common home. It felt fitting for our students to put "Sister Water" at the heart of their prayers and pledges, echoing that call to step in deeper and work together for the renewal of creation. 🌊🌏

Here are some of our Year 9 students proudly displaying their Canticle of Creation prayers! 📿🖼️
