Act Belong Commit School Partner

 

John Tonkin College ESC, proudly embrace our role as an Act-Belong-Commit school partner, a community initiative designed to promote mental health and well-being among students. This program encourages young people to engage in positive activities that foster mental resilience and a sense of belonging.

By promoting the principles of Act, Belong, and Commit, we empower our students to take proactive steps towards enhancing their mental health.

Act – Involves motivating students to participate in various activities — whether through sports, arts, or other interests — that stimulate their mind and body.

Belong- Emphasizes the importance of social connections and community, encouraging students to engage with peers, family, and school staff.

Commit – Inspires students to dedicate themselves to causes or activities that provide purpose and fulfilment.

As a part of this initiative, we incorporate workshops, awareness campaigns, and engaging events that foster a positive school culture and connect students with valuable resources. By integrating the Act-Belong-Commit philosophy into our school environment, we aim to cultivate resilience, improve emotional well-being, and nurture a strong sense of community, ensuring that every student feels supported and empowered throughout their educational journey.
