24 HR SUPPORT | St Leo's students can also refer to p.135 of their College diaries for information on the range of support services available to them inside and outside St Leo's.Today we recognise World Teen Mental Wellness Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of mental health for young people. Adolescence is a time of growth, change and challenge. School, friendships, family expectations, social media and future planning can sometimes feel overwhelming. It’s important for our students to know that mental health is just as important as physical health — and support is always available. At our schools, we are committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where students feel heard, valued and connected. A Reminder to Our Students • It’s okay to not be okay. • Talking about how you feel is a sign of strength. • Reaching out for help shows courage. • You are not alone. Simple steps like staying connected with friends, getting enough sleep, taking breaks from screens, being active, and speaking to a trusted adult can make a big difference. Students are encouraged to speak with a member of our Student Services team if they need support.
