Wellbeing Week 2026

This week, students across our campuses are celebrating Wellbeing Week, an opportunity to focus on the importance of physical, mental, spiritual and social wellbeing.

 

At Maranatha, we believe wellbeing is about more than simply staying healthy. It is about nurturing the whole person as we encourage students to grow in faith, build positive relationships, develop resilience and make healthy choices in every area of life.

 

Throughout the week, students are participating in a range of engaging lunchtime activities designed to support wellbeing in fun, meaningful and age-appropriate ways. Activities across our campuses include fruit breaks, creative experiences, worship opportunities, social challenges, quiet reflection spaces and interactive games.

 

For our Secondary students, Wellbeing Week includes activities focusing on physical, mental, spiritual and social wellbeing, with opportunities to enjoy fresh fruit, participate in Just Dance sessions, engage in prayer and worship, create slime, join scavenger hunts and take part in mini-games and challenges.

 

Our Junior School students are also enjoying a week packed with activities including fresh fruit, Just Dance, colouring and quiet spaces, a worship service, chalk drawing and opportunities to connect with friends. This year’s theme is inspired by Ecclesiastes 4:9, “Two are better than one,” reminding students of the importance of friendship and community.

 

A special highlight of the week will be R U OK? Day on Thursday, where students are encouraged to wear free dress with a yellow theme. Gold coin donations will support our Go the Extra Mile fundraiser, providing students with an opportunity to care for others while raising awareness about the importance of checking in on those around us.

 

We look forward to seeing students embrace the many opportunities Wellbeing Week provides to strengthen their relationships, support one another and celebrate the importance of holistic wellbeing.

 

Because when students are supported physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually, they are better equipped to flourish both in and beyond the classroom.
