Wellbeing Day: Respectful Relationships Day

Term 2 Wellbeing Day at UC

On Monday, June 2nd, Urban College students came together for a full-day event focused on building Respectful Relationships. The day was all about promoting inclusivity, wellbeing, and positive communication—and it offered a great mix of hands-on activities, reflection, and fun.

The morning kicked off with a relaxed BBQ breakfast, giving everyone a chance to connect before the day got underway. After that staff welcomed students with an overview of the day, setting the tone for what was to come. One of the highlights of the morning was the Green Flag/Red Flag activity, which helped students explore what healthy and unhealthy relationships can look like.

Students then took part in a series of rotating workshops that included a defence class, anti-bullying awareness activities (Doing It For Dolly), team-building games, and the chance to contribute to a collaborative art project.

Following a well-earned pizza lunch, energy levels rose again for the Amazing Race, organised and led by our Year 12 students. The race saw teams tackle a variety of challenges across the school grounds and at nearby Toremore Reserve. For students who preferred a quieter pace, a calming space was set up with bracelet making, sensory activities, and colouring.

The day wrapped up with a reflection survey, giving students the opportunity to share what they’d learned and how their thinking had shifted throughout the day.

A big thank you to all the staff, student leaders, and facilitators who made the day possible. It was a great example of our school community coming together to support each other and celebrate what it means to build respectful, positive relationships.
