Whole School approach
SchoolTV: This is an online Wellbeing resource that interrelates and supports our Wellbeing Framework. This Wellbeing resource is sent home via school links throughout the year to give parents ongoing, realistic and practical strategies to enhance their son’s Wellbeing.
Consistent school wide messaging to all students that encompasses Wellbeing themes. This is embedded and enhanced within Sport, Culture and Academic areas
The relationship between Wellbeing and Service
The Service component of Hamilton Boys’ High School, which is embedded in our values, is represented by the Sash in the School’s Crest and is an integral part of the school. Service offers people the opportunity to enhance their personal wellbeing and the wellbeing of others. By giving service you are able to help others around your community, by creating a more connected and vibrant community. Service is not difficult or challenging, it is a simple act of kindness. Some examples of service by our students are, Blood Drive, Shave for a Cure, 40 Hour Famine, Fundraising, etc. The act of giving service at HBHS has helped the wellbeing of a variety of people around our community
