Burnside SHS Staff Wellbeing Week

Burnside State High School’s “Staff Wellbeing Week” is an initiative that is staged annually and aims to ensure that staff know that they are valued and appreciated. Activities conducted during the week are designed to help staff manage stress levels, raise awareness about how to access wellbeing-related resources and services, and promote a culture of collegiality. Initiatives planned for 2024 include a celebratory morning tea, workplace mini-massages, sessions conducted by health professionals and “Time-Out Tuesday” where the weekly staff meeting is replaced by a range of staff-driven activities that include art classes, social tennis, weights room familiarisation, book review chats, cookery lessons, pilates and nature walks.
