NCEA time, the Totally Psyched team is cheering you on as you head into the next few weeks.

We know it can be stressful, especially when there’s pressure to perform, manage routines, and stay focused.

A few gentle reminders and tips to help you through:

Breathe & reset: Short, slow breaths calm your nervous system and help your brain refocus.
Chunk it down: Break study into short bursts (20–30 mins) with movement or rest breaks in between.
For our ADHD students: Try using timers or body-doubling (studying alongside someone) to stay on track. Movement breaks aren’t procrastination, they’re brain fuel!
For our autistic students: Keep your environment predictable and sensory-friendly where possible. Noise-cancelling headphones, soft lighting, or familiar snacks can help regulate and focus.
Rest matters: Sleep consolidates memory, an extra hour of rest can be more effective than an extra hour of study.
Remember: Your worth isn’t defined by exam results. Do your best and be kind to yourself along the way.

You’ve got this!

🎃👻 Happy Halloween from Totally Psyched! 👻🎃

We might spend most of our days helping others and keeping things professional… but today, we’re embracing our spooky side!

Whether you’re trick-or-treating, dressing up, or just indulging in too many lollies (no judgment here!), we hope you have a fun, laughter-filled day.

Because while we take our work seriously — we don’t always take ourselves too seriously.

We’re so proud of Sophie for writing a beautiful and powerful poem about living with ADHD. Her words remind us that every mind is unique, and creativity often shines brightest when we learn to see the world differently.

Writing can be such a strong way to express feelings and experiences — and Sophie did just that, turning her thoughts into art.

Keep sharing your voice, Sophie — the world needs to hear it!

5 Ways to Wellbeing - Keep Learning

Me Ako Tonu - be a life-long learner!

Think of learning like taking your brain to the gym. Every new skill or piece of knowledge strengthens your mind, boosts your mood, and builds connection with others. Whether solo or with friends or whānau, learning together creates moments of shared discovery and growth.

Here are some simple ways to Keep Learning today:
Join a class or group – pick up an instrument, join a book club, or hit the dance floor!
Host a “lunch and learn” with your hoamahi – invite a guest speaker or share your own passions.
Take on a new challenge with your whānau – try a new recipe, revamp an old piece of furniture, or start learning a new language together.
Discover something new about your local area – chat with neighbours, visit local history spots, or dive into some online rangahau/search.
Flex your mental muscles with puzzles, crosswords, sudoku or riddles.

Research shows that learning something new can boost your sense of achievement, build confidence and keep your brain sharp.

5 Ways to Wellbeing - Give/Tukua

Tukua - Presenting or Offering

When we give, we create a ripple effect of positivity that can brighten someone's day — and our own.

Here are a few simple ways you can give today:

Smile at a stranger — it might be the boost they (and you) need.
Volunteer locally or donate unused items to a charity shop.
Bake something delicious to share with your hoamahi at morning tea.
Help a friend — mow their lawn, cook a meal, or watch their tamariki.
Let someone merge in traffic — kindness on the road is contagious!

This Mental Health Awareness Week, let’s Top Up Together — through kindness, connection, and care for one another.

5 Ways to Wellbeing - Be Active

Me Kori Tonu - Be Active, Move Your Tinana, Lift Your Wairua

Being active isn’t just great for your physical health — it’s one of the best natural mood boosters we have. Moving your tinana/body can lower stress and anxiety, help you relax, and build mental resilience. Even better? Doing it with whānau or friends makes it more fun and strengthens your connections.

Here are some easy, fun ways to be active today:

Teach a whānau member, or mate a TikTok dance — you’ll laugh, connect, and get your heart rate up.
Round up your mates for a casual sports match at the local park — fitness + fun + friendship.
Have a kanikani/dance party with your flatmates, kids, or even your pets — play your fave songs and go wild!
Get moving with everyday tasks — vacuuming, gardening, or a game of tag all count.
Turn your office hui into a walking meeting — fresh air + fresh ideas.

Physical activity releases endorphins — the feel-good chemicals that boost your mood and bring on those happy vibes. So let’s Top Up Together and move in ways that feel good for our minds and bodies this Mental Health Awareness Week.

5 Ways to Wellbeing – Connect

Me Whakawhanaunga – the power of connection

Feeling connected, loved, and part of something bigger brings a deep sense of meaning, safety, and joy. When we nurture relationships with our whānau, friends, and hoamahi (colleagues), we strengthen not only our wellbeing but also the collective wellbeing of our communities.

These ideas are inspired by the Mental Health Foundation's Five Ways to Wellbeing – simple, proven actions to support mental and emotional wellbeing.

Here are some ways you can connect with others today:

Game night vibes – Gather your friends for a cozy night of games, good kōrero, and shared laughter.

BBQ catch-ups – Fire up the grill and invite your whānau or mates around. Share some kai and cheer on your team together.

Reach out – Is there someone you haven’t spoken to in a while? Send a message, have a kōrero, or plan a face-to-face catch-up.

Check in with care – At the end of the day, ask someone what the best part of their day was — and listen with genuine interest.

Potluck connection – Host a shared lunch or dinner. Everyone brings a favourite dish, and you all bring your stories, laughter, and manaakitanga.

Connection is at the ngākau (heart) of our wellbeing. When we feel seen, heard, and valued, we thrive. Let’s make connection a daily act of aroha.
