On June 20th, the year 10 students travelled to GMHBA stadium for the Year 10 wellbeing day.
The morning session saw Jem Fuller talking to the students about focusing our thoughts on what we can control, influence and accept. He also discussed the power of the mind to “hack” and change our negative thinking (Neuroplasticity) and the six core needs of control, influence and accept, and core needs of certainty, uncertainty, significance, connection, growth and contribution.
In the second session males and female students split to watch “The mask you live in” (2015) and “Miss Representation”. These documentaries present the notion that the media is selling the idea that girls and womens’ value lies in their youth, beauty and sexuality, and not in their capacity as leaders.
The Mask you live in explores the idea that Boys learn that their success is tied to their dominance, power and aggression.
Third session saw the students partaking in activities that discussed the documentaries and also challenged students to look at what public self they show the world versus what private aspects to themselves are not shown. The Gender stereotypes that exist in our society were also explored and discussed.
