Mental Health Week
The Student Wellbeing Committee (SWC) hosted Mental Health Week from October 20 to 23, putting the 4Rs concept into practice. Interactive booths brought together various partner organizations to engage students throughout the week.
For ‘rest’, we organized a Q&A booth to teach the importance of quality rest, and talk about the importance and clarify the concept of rest.
For ‘Relationships’, we set up an interactive board with strings to visualize what kind of support students hope to receive when experiencing different emotions.
We welcomed a theme truck co-hosted by Rugby For Good and Cathay, featuring mini-games that introduced the 4Rs.
For ‘relaxation’ we also invited the Hong Kong Aromatherapy Development Association to lead an aromatherapy session, where students explored different scents and created their own fragrances. The students also got the chance to make artwork and do handcrafts.
For ‘resilience’, we designed an interactive paper-stacking activity encouraged students to reflect on key qualities of resilience, such as patience.
A talk by Mr. Sampson Wong on city walking, exploring Hong Kong’s history and walking as a form of relaxation.
By fostering an environment that prioritizes mental health, we hope to advocate the idea that everyone can contribute to the overall well-being of our students and ourselves.
