Open Parachute
The new 2024 timetable has provided the opportunity for the Secondary School to run a new program which will support students and their mental wellbeing.
The Open Parachute Program provides practical support to students through the stories of real students who have faced struggles and overcome them. These video stories will encourage our own students to tell their own personal stories.
These practical mental health skills will support students through their own struggles so that they thrive. This program aims to build a strong foundation of resilience so that your child can learn to trust in their own abilities, relate to their own feelings in a healthy way, and change any unhelpful patterns that may hold them back at any point in their lives.
