Staff Wellbeing and Performance Development

Most people might think that staff wellbeing and performance development don't go together, but if you don't feel like you are moving forward and developing as an individual, doesn't that negatively impact your wellbeing?

The attached document is a resource for staff to read and consider with regards to your personal and/or professional development.

Whether you have a personal goal, or a professional one, focusing on what you can do about it, and what strengths you have that you can build upon, could help you to achieve what you want. Speaking with a trusted mentor can be valuable. They can help you to clarify what's important to you, and what your next actions could be - small steps towards a larger goal.

NAIDOC Week - Feedback please

Firstly, a big thank you to Shannon Collard, the Student NAIDOC Committee and the Cultural Inclusivity Committee who all contributed to a fantastic week of celebrations for NAIDOC. The fact that most of the activities were student-led was a really key improvement on recent NAIDOC celebrations at BSHS. Giving the students a voice, and the opportunity to be leaders of their culture in sharing this with others, was a real highlight of the week and leading up to the week. Having former students come back and speak to our current students, as role models, was really powerful and motivating. The Torres Strait Islander woven fish activity was a popular one in classrooms, so thank you to all those who gave it a go and made such a great display.
The official opening of Koorlangka Kadadjiny Wardarn showed just how important this space is to the students and to their families and elders. This room is one small part of the agreed upon actions we have in our co-designed Reconciliation Action Plan, which is attached for those interested.

We would love your feedback about the week, so that we can continue to make it better. Please take the short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BSHSNAIDOC2023
