Core + Elective – Mental Health and Wellbeing
Students in the Year 10 Core + Elective Mental Health and Wellbeing have been organising Wellbeing Week for Week 7 of this term. They have spent time linking various activities with the PERMA+ Framework to engage CMCC students. As part of this they have had to collaborate with various staff on campus including administration, support, senior leadership team and teachers to organise locations, ordering and planning logistics for these activities. Next week will see our first school Mufti Day dedicated to supporting Vinnie's and the wellbeing of those outside of our community as we raise funds for the Vinnie's Winter Appeal. We would like to thank all staff who have helped in it's organisation and look forward to a wonderful week ahead.
Keep an eye on daily notices for specific details about each activity.
A message from students
Wellbeing Week is a transformative initiative that empowers students and staff to prioritize mental, physical, emotional, and social health, Grounded in the PERMA+ model, it fosters positive emotions, engagement, strong relationships, a sense of meaning, and accomplishment-while also enhancing resilience and physical well-being.
Schools that participate benefit from stress reduction, improved focus, and supportive community interactions. By integrating mindfulness practices, engaging activities, and open conversations. Wellbeing Week ensures that students and staff not only raise awareness about their well-being but also take active steps to create a healthier, more balanced school environment.

Year 10 Marine and Aquaculture Technology Class: Exploring Fish Biology and Anatomy
Our Year 10 Marine and Aquaculture Technology class has been diving deep into the fin-tastic world of fish biology and anatomy. Each student selected a unique fish species to research and create a detailed model of. These models are crucial in science education as they provide tangible evidence of concepts that aren't always accessible in a school setting.
Through this project, students have demonstrated their understanding of their chosen fish's behaviours, physical characteristics, and physiological adaptations. The hands-on experience of building models has allowed them to explore and present complex biological concepts in an engaging and informative way.
We are incredibly proud of the creativity and dedication our students have shown in this project. Their models not only showcase their knowledge but also their ability to apply scientific principles to real-world scenarios. It's clear that our students are hooked on learning and are swimming in success!
