Kin Kora State School

💚 QUEENSLAND MENTAL HEALTH WEEK 💚

At Kin Kora, we recognise that mental health and wellbeing are essential for every student, staff member, family and member of our wider community. 🌱💛

This week, as part of Queensland Mental Health Week, we will be hosting a range of activities at school designed to support our students’ wellbeing, strengthen connections and encourage positive conversations about mental health. 🧠💚😊

Together, we can continue to build a school community where everyone feels valued, supported, connected and empowered to thrive. 🐝✨

🌟 Welcome to Week 1 – Term 4 at Kin Kora State School! 🌟
We’re looking forward to another great week of learning and connection.
A few highlights for the week:
