Yesterday Tamara and Emily from the headspace Tamworth team - along with our centacare colleagues - had the privilege of attending the Tamworth Mental Health Summit spearheaded by Councillor Charles Impey. 💚

It was an inspiring day connecting with local services, sharing ideas, and strengthening our collective commitment to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of young people in Tamworth 🧠✨

We’re so grateful to be part of a community that shows up, speaks up, and works together to make mental health a priority 🙌

Together, we’re building a stronger, more supportive and accessible headspace for everyone 🌱

Looking after your mental health doesn’t always mean big changes - sometimes it starts with a hobby you love 💚

Whether it’s getting creative 🎨, moving your body 🚴, making music 🎺, or slowing down with meditation 🧘, hobbies can help reduce stress, boost your mood, and give your mind a reset.

You don’t have to be “good” at it. Just give it a go. Your headspace will thank you ✨

Which one would you try first? 👇

New year, same you… but better ✨💪
Each Friday we’re highlighting one of our 7 tips for a healthy headspace 🧠💚 to help you be your BEST SELF in 2026 🌟

Putting time into your relationships can help you feel connected, boost your energy and, ultimately, help you keep a healthy headspace.

we know relationships aren’t always easy. Starting new relationships can often be scary. And if you’re experiencing mental health difficulties you may feel like disconnecting from people, rather than reaching out.

But here’s the thing – the more you work on your relationships, the stronger they get.

Strong relationships can give you support when you need it and provide a sense of belonging and community. And when you spend time connecting with and supporting others, your wellbeing can improve too!

thanks so much to Calrossy Tamworth for supporting headspace! Their donation of instruments will go straight into our music room, available for young people to use during sessions. We're so grateful for the support of our community!

As part of the Calrossy Year of Service, as a school we have proudly supported the work of Headspace Tamworth, a local organisation providing vital mental health and wellbeing services to young people aged 12–25 across our community.

Headspace Tamworth offers free, early-intervention support in a safe and welcoming environment, including mental health and counselling services, physical and sexual health support, alcohol and other drug services, and assistance with work and study. Their programs are designed to help young people feel connected, supported, and empowered.

This week we handed over some musical instruments to the organisation. The donation of keyboards and guitars will support program delivery to enable young people accessing headspace Tamworth to explore their creativity, express themselves through music, and build confidence as part of their wellbeing journey.

This exciting partnership has provided students with valuable insight into the importance of youth mental health, and the role community organisations play in early support and prevention. It has also reinforced the power of service, empathy and meaningful contribution.

The Calrossy Year of Service continues to be a powerful reminder that small actions can create lasting impact. We are proud of our students for their commitment to supporting headspace Tamworth and helping to create positive opportunities for young people in our local community.
