Act-Belong-Commit           

Kensington Primary School has recently formed an agreement with Mentally Healthy WA to be part of the “Act-Belong-Commit” campaign. Kensington Primary School agrees to provide a mentally healthy environment for all students, staff members, and the wider school community. Promoting positive mental health involves any action taken to maximise wellbeing in individuals and communities. Kensington Primary School will proactively support positive mental health promotion in individuals and the community through strategies:

• Provide opportunities for individuals to be mentally, physically and socially active (ACT)
• Encourage individuals to join and actively participate in the organisation’s activities and those of partner organisations (BELONG)
• Encourage individuals to become a volunteer for the organisation, to set personal goals for achievement in the activities of the organisation and to be more broadly involved in other community events and environments (COMMIT)
• Reduce or remove economic or social barriers to participation in the organisations activities
• Encourage staff, volunteers and participants to treat all groups in the organisation and the community with respect, equality and openness
• Encourage positive role modelling of values, behaviour and interests
• Encourage support for building capacity in mental health promotion through proactively supporting training and developmental workshops and programs.
