Wellbeing and Relationships - Positive Connections in Year 8

What a fantastic Trivia Afternoon we had for Year 8 students from ATC and Brigidine as part of Empower Week! It was wonderful to see boys and girls from both schools coming together, engaging in friendly competition, and building positive connections.

The importance of wellbeing and strategies to improve individual wellbeing was shared by Counselling staff as well as Senior students from both colleges. A focus point of our Strategic Plan is embedding productive partnerships and we believe that connecting with young women is crucial in fostering mutual respect, understanding, and cooperation. These experiences not only enhance social skills but also prepare our students for the diverse world beyond school.


Students had a great time dancing before showing off their quick thinking through multiple trivia categories and minute-to-win-it games. It was an afternoon filled with laughter, teamwork, and new friendships and we look forward to building upon this connection with Brigidine College Indooroopilly next semester.
