Don's Poet Nurse

Don College school nurse Ceinwen Rataj recently won a $500 voucher to train staff in Mental Health First Aid through “Mind Your Head’ after she entered the competition.  Entrants had to write a piece 100 words or less explaining why their school should win. 

Here is Ceinwen's entry: 

 

 

Low mental health is shit!

It feels like hit after hit after hit.

So hard to feel safe and free

Why won’t everyone let me be?

 

This is the way some of our students feel

Which we believe is a huge deal

At Don College we want to help students be heard

And to let them fly free like a bird

 

To win a $500 voucher would be so cool

To help train  staff at our school

To encourage our students to get out of bed

Through training from ‘Mind your Head’

Well done to Ceinwen and we look forward to participating in training that will help improve mental health in our school community later this year.
