Year 8 Takes a Stand for Youth Mental Health!

On Monday 29 April Sacred Heart College's Year 8 students joined forces with students from Braemar College, Gisborne Secondary College, Sunbury And Macedon Ranges Specialist School for a powerful event: the launch of the Live4Life program!

Live4Life is an inspiring initiative with a clear vision: to empower rural communities like ours to support, improve, and invest in the mental health of young people. By working together, we can create a strong network of support and reduce youth suicide rates.

The launch event, held at Sacred Heart College's Quambi area and basketball courts, kicked off with an informative session. Students gained valuable insights into Live4Life's goals and the importance of prioritising mental well-being.

Following the session, the energy shifted to a fun and interactive zone! Year 8s had a chance to connect with their peers from other schools and participate in activities hosted by local community groups. These activities were a fantastic way to explore resources available and build connections with organisations dedicated to youth mental health.

The Live4Life launch was a resounding success! Our Year 8 students actively participated, demonstrating their commitment to creating a supportive and positive environment for themselves and their peers. This event serves as a reminder that we're all stronger together, and by working collaboratively, we can make a real difference in the lives of young people in our community.
