Hello all!
In week 9 we will be having a Health and Wellbeing week- as a fun way to end term 3! This week is to promote physical and mental health. All funds raised from the events will be going towards implementing incursions in 2026 around mental health and activities organised by not-for-profit charity Speak and Share. There will be lots of enjoyable and exciting activities happening which will run in this order:
Monday (15th): RUOK lunchtime event
Tuesday (16th): Basketball competition
Wednesday (17th): Staff vs Students Trivia
Thursday (18th): Staff vs Students Dodgeball
Friday (19th): Walkathon / Colour Run
The Walkathon / Colour run is named “Colour the Conversation” where we will also be having a raffle! The raffle tickets are $1 each and there will be five winners, each will be winning a Speak&Share hoodie.
Consent for Colour the Conversation is $20 and grants entry to both the Walkathon and Colour Run.
Please note you’ll have to supply your own white t-shirt for the colour run!
The 19th is also an out of uniform day so please contribute a gold coin donation.

Our school will be conducting an off-site evacuation drill on Thursday, 18th September as part of our commitment to ensuring the safety and preparedness of our students and staff. This practice drill is an important part of our emergency management procedures and will involve all students and staff relocating to our designated evacuation site (Heathmont Reserve). We are required to complete this drill with Marlborough Primary School. Please note that this is only a practice drill and more information will be given about how we all get safely to Heathmont Reserve. We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a safe and prepared school community.
We’re excited to announce a whole-school event to end Term 3 – the Heathmont College Walk-a-thon and Colour Run: Colour the Conversation. This fun-filled fundraiser will take place on the last day of Term 3 during Period 4 and 5 (finishing approx. 2:30 pm).
All money raised will support Speak and Share, a youth-focused organisation that delivers engaging mental health education to young people. Funds will go directly towards subsidising their People Before Students program for Years 8–12 students in 2026. This initiative aims to normalise conversations around mental health, encourage peer support, and strengthen our school’s wellbeing culture.
