Teen Mental Health

For many of us mental illness often brings to mind a range of disorders including depression anxiety eating disorders and addiction For some these conditions can be confronting and difficult to understand However in recent years there has been a shift towards focusing on what constitutes good mental health and what we can do to promote our own mental wellbeing It is important to take a more positive approach to mental health and wellbeing Professor Felicia Huppert has been researching mental wellbeing for over 20 years and has outlined a number of attributes that have been found to be particularly important for good mental health

These include the following positive emotion engagement relationships meaning purpose accomplishment emotional stability optimism resilience self-esteem and vitalityGood mental health and wellbeing is associated with better learning better relationships increased productivity and improved health all round Parents can promote good mental health and wellbeing in their daughters by showing love and affection showing an interest in your daughters life and achievements spending individual and family time together encouraging discussion and offering support when things are hard

Adolescence is a time of rapid growth and development and a time when some young people are particularly vulnerable to the challenges and stresses of everyday life It is also the peak period for the onset of mental health problems

Over 12 weeks during semester one four Avila students participated in the 6th BrainSTEM Innovation Challenge Adline OrsquoBrien Miah Khan Jocelyn Satya Graha and myself

The aim of the program is to help students develop skills and knowledge in research and innovation in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics

The experience taught us how to apply our abilities to solve future problems that do not yet exist

It also gave us an opportunity to work together as a team in a more advanced research environment

Our supervising teacher Dr Susan Long and our mentor Cheng Sun postgraduate student at Monash University supported us to conduct our research project

The project is called the Tree of Life We investigated options for vaccinations

We targeted South America because it has a high incidence of infectious diseases and created a theoretical model of an edible vaccination avocado tree

We chose to further investigate Malaria Zika Dengue and Yellow Fever the four most common mosquito-borne diseases in South America

The team explored every aspect of how the tree is formed from genetic modification (inserting a gene for a disease antigen to form the vaccination as an avocado) to transgenics (adding another gene to form a colour alteration) and then finally a gardening technique called grafting to join each of the four vaccines

At the end of the 12 weeks all the teams from the schools involved in the challenge presented at the Swinburne University of Technology

Each team had investigated different and remarkable ideas that could improve and help our future

I am proud of the final results and of my team It was an event to remember and this program has given us an opportunity to consider how we can influence and change the future

CASTAN Centre Human Rights Conference

On the 20th of July The Castan Centre for Human Rights Law held their annual Human Rights Conference at The Edge Federation Square

Five Year 12 students attended the conference and were greeted by the many faces of activists and lawyers

Along with notepads and pens at the ready we were also encouraged to be active on social media - with humanrights18 trending 1 in Australia during the day

The conference was divided into several sessions filled with inspirational speakers who spoke with passion from the heart

In one of our sessions Professor George Newhouse a human rights lawyer raised our awareness on the disturbing and pressing matter of inadequate medical care in Papua New Guinea and Nauru whilst informing us of the ineffective policies and harsh realities of the offshore processing system

As young women we were all particularly eager for the panel with Ivy Josiah (Womens rights activist) and Tara Moss (Womens rights author and activist) who commented on the metoo movements and enlightened us on the history of female empowerment

The day was filled with many moments of wide-eyed realization that demanded serious reflection but most importantly it gave us all a spark a spark of hope hope in humanity through the realization of rights

As students who this year are living under the motto of ldquoDare to Dordquo we were challenged to go out into the world as powerful women to do our part in tackling the human rights challenges we face individually and globally

At the end of last term two Year 9 Indonesian classes visited the Melbourne CBD on an excursion to discover and sample Indonesian food for their Indonesian food (makanan) study topic

As part of their learning students had to find products such as Indonesian chocolate soft drinks and identify the different crackers available on the market

Students were challenged to find the most interesting and unusual food packaging condiment flavours and traditional ingredients

Throughout the process students used the Padlet app to share their photographs and findings as well as directions and hints on where to find relevant stores restaurants and products The results were fabulous

Astronomy Night at Avila

Are you attending the Parent-Student-Teacher evenings in August The Science Department will be running an exciting astronomy event after dark on these evenings and you are invited to see the solar system up close

Join us for a Night with the Planets

Winter is a great chance to be able to see all objects high in the sky as soon as it gets dark

This year the Earth and planets are all aligned nicely so that on the opposite side of the Sun we have Venus Jupiter Saturn and Mars all visible at 630pm high in the sky Plus Mars is also reaching opposition (closest approach to Earth) which makes it large enough to see some detail

Clear skies permitting telescopes will be set up in the main walkway (the front of the General Office) Before or after interviews come out and take a look

Bring the whole family along (even if you dont have interviews that night) and let local Astronomy guru Alfred Kruijshoop and his student helpers let you and your family see the planets like never before

No bookings required Just walk up and take a look

Through the optics of our large telescopes you can bull observe Venus in its gibbous phasebull see the bands of Jupiter (and possibly the great red spot) and its four largest moons bull view the rings of Saturn and its moon Titan bull look at a planet-wide dust storm on Mars (which wont get as close again until 2033) bull watch the craters and mountains on the Moon pop out of the eyepiece

At Avila College we use CareMonkey to seek permission for students to attend excursions from parentsguardians

Importantly CareMonkey is also used to highlight student medical details

Parentsguardians are responsible for entering and updating their daughterrsquos medical details

Safety on ExcursionsWhen staff take students on excursions they rely on the information supplied by parents in CareMonkey

The alerts on CareMonkey will inform staff about which students have asthma anaphylaxis diabetes etc

Therefore it is really important that medical details are correct and the plans required to treat their medical condition are attached to the individual student profile

Contact details of parents or guardians also need to be correct and up to date

Missing Medical DetailsIn the Health Centre we are aware of students who may have asthma and other medical issues

However we have found that these details are often not recorded on the students CareMonkey profile

Asthma plans in particular appear to be missing from a number of CareMonkey profiles

Even for mild asthma sufferers it is strongly recommended that a formal plan be completed by the doctor annually This needs to be uploaded to CareMonkey

Action PlansPlan templates for Asthma Anaphylaxis Allergy and Seizures are located in PAM

The plans need to be downloaded and printed in colour

Plans must be taken to your GP to be completed

This needs to be actioned annually

Plans must be printed in in colour as the colour indicates the condition and alerts staff accordingly bull Anaphylaxis is red signalling

that the student has an epipen

bull Allergy forms are green signalling that the student requires an antihistamine tablet to treat their allergy

Essential - Update DetailsWe recognise that as parents we all lead a busy life juggling work and our home life Sometimes there is not a spare minute in our weeks

However as busy as we are it is important to update CareMonkey and alert the school of our daughtersrsquo medical details and changes to their medical status

Medical plans need to be attached to their profiles

If you would like some assistance with accessing the plan template or CareMonkey please contact our IT department or the Health Centre

If you require a PDF of a medical plan you have had your doctor complete but not attached to CareMonkey please contact Kerri Stiles or myself in the Health Centre

CASTAN Centre Human Rights Conference

On the 20th of July The Castan Centre for Human Rights Law held their annual Human Rights Conference at The Edge Federation Square

Five Year 12 students attended the conference and were greeted by the many faces of activists and lawyers

Along with notepads and pens at the ready we were also encouraged to be active on social media - with humanrights18 trending 1 in Australia during the day

The conference was divided into several sessions filled with inspirational speakers who spoke with passion from the heart

In one of our sessions Professor George Newhouse a human rights lawyer raised our awareness on the disturbing and pressing matter of inadequate medical care in Papua New Guinea and Nauru whilst informing us of the ineffective policies and harsh realities of the offshore processing system

As young women we were all particularly eager for the panel with Ivy Josiah (Womens rights activist) and Tara Moss (Womens rights author and activist) who commented on the metoo movements and enlightened us on the history of female empowerment

The day was filled with many moments of wide-eyed realization that demanded serious reflection but most importantly it gave us all a spark a spark of hope hope in humanity through the realization of rights

As students who this year are living under the motto of ldquoDare to Dordquo we were challenged to go out into the world as powerful women to do our part in tackling the human rights challenges we face individually and globally

Astronomy Night at Avila

Are you attending the Parent-Student-Teacher evenings in August The Science Department will be running an exciting astronomy event after dark on these evenings and you are invited to see the solar system up close

Join us for a Night with the Planets

Winter is a great chance to be able to see all objects high in the sky as soon as it gets dark

This year the Earth and planets are all aligned nicely so that on the opposite side of the Sun we have Venus Jupiter Saturn and Mars all visible at 630pm high in the sky Plus Mars is also reaching opposition (closest approach to Earth) which makes it large enough to see some detail

Clear skies permitting telescopes will be set up in the main walkway (the front of the General Office) Before or after interviews come out and take a look

Bring the whole family along (even if you dont have interviews that night) and let local Astronomy guru Alfred Kruijshoop and his student helpers let you and your family see the planets like never before

No bookings required Just walk up and take a look

Through the optics of our large telescopes you can bull observe Venus in its gibbous phasebull see the bands of Jupiter (and possibly the great red spot) and its four largest moons bull view the rings of Saturn and its moon Titan bull look at a planet-wide dust storm on Mars (which wont get as close again until 2033) bull watch the craters and mountains on the Moon pop out of the eyepiece

Jupiter through a 925 telescope

Saturn through an 8 telescope

Venus through a telescope

The Moon through an 8 telescope

Mars with a dust storm

Thursday 16 August and Tuesday 21 August from 6-8pm

At Avila College we use CareMonkey to seek permission for students to attend excursions from parentsguardians

Importantly CareMonkey is also used to highlight student medical details

Parentsguardians are responsible for entering and updating their daughterrsquos medical details

Safety on ExcursionsWhen staff take students on excursions they rely on the information supplied by parents in CareMonkey

The alerts on CareMonkey will inform staff about which students have asthma anaphylaxis diabetes etc

Therefore it is really important that medical details are correct and the plans required to treat their medical condition are attached to the individual student profile

Contact details of parents or guardians also need to be correct and up to date

Missing Medical DetailsIn the Health Centre we are aware of students who may have asthma and other medical issues

However we have found that these details are often not recorded on the students CareMonkey profile

Asthma plans in particular appear to be missing from a number of CareMonkey profiles

Even for mild asthma sufferers it is strongly recommended that a formal plan be completed by the doctor annually This needs to be uploaded to CareMonkey

Action PlansPlan templates for Asthma Anaphylaxis Allergy and Seizures are located in PAM

The plans need to be downloaded and printed in colour

Plans must be taken to your GP to be completed

This needs to be actioned annually

Plans must be printed in in colour as the colour indicates the condition and alerts staff accordingly bull Anaphylaxis is red signalling

that the student has an epipen

bull Allergy forms are green signalling that the student requires an antihistamine tablet to treat their allergy

Essential - Update DetailsWe recognise that as parents we all lead a busy life juggling work and our home life Sometimes there is not a spare minute in our weeks

However as busy as we are it is important to update CareMonkey and alert the school of our daughtersrsquo medical details and changes to their medical status

Medical plans need to be attached to their profiles

If you would like some assistance with accessing the plan template or CareMonkey please contact our IT department or the Health Centre

If you require a PDF of a medical plan you have had your doctor complete but not attached to CareMonkey please contact Kerri Stiles or myself in the Health Centre
