We are so pleased to announce that Drysdale Primary has been successful in receiving a grant from Barwon Health for the Promotion of Mental Health and Wellbeing in our community.
Drysdale Primary School will be scaling up the Kids Matter initiative by adding more friendship stations, training more Kids Matter kids, supporting staff with a Staff Matters program and develop a transition program for kids moving to Secondary School.
The priorities that were taken into consideration when selecting the successful school were; to increase awareness of the importance of mental health and wellbeing, to increase social connectedness and reduce loneliness and to reduce mental health risk and enhance resilience.
