Exams can feel overwhelming, but a few simple strategies can help you stay focused and manage stress.

Here are 3 tips to help you prepare:

1. 📚 Make a realistic study plan.
Break your study into smaller chunks, make sure to include regular breaks, and start with what needs the most attention.

2. 🏃‍♂️ Look after your wellbeing.
Sleep, movement, healthy food, and downtime all help support your memory, focus, and energy.

3. 💚 Reach out for support.
Talk to friends, teachers, or support services if you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed. You don’t have to do it alone.

Remember, it’s about progress, not perfection. Take it one step at a time.

The theme for National Reconciliation Week is All In and it’s a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day.

We come together to learn about our shared cultures and histories, acknowledging what still needs to be done to achieve a reconciled and united Australia, and exploring the ways that each of us can contribute to Australia’s ongoing reconciliation journey.

“All In makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport, and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take action to make change. All In is not about guilt or shame, but about the reciprocal responsibility of being Australian.”

If trauma is part of your story, you might feel like you’ve had to be strong in ways other people don’t always see. 💛

What is trauma?
A lasting response to a distressing experience that can impact how you feel, think and cope. It’s shaped by what happened, how you experienced it, and the impact it’s had on your life. There’s no “right” way to respond and everyone's experience is different.

How can it show up? 👀
💥 panic, anger or nightmares
🧊 numbness, disconnection or distrust
😔 shame, guilt or avoidance
😴 changes to sleep or physical health

What can healing look like? 🌱
🤝 connecting with people, culture, community or faith
🧘 grounding routines and self-care
🎨 movement or creative expression
🗣️ therapy

Setbacks are normal. Healing isn’t linear. But over time, it’s possible to feel stronger, calmer and more like yourself again. You are more than what happened to you. 💛

If you want to work through these feelings, headspace can help!
