Hastings Student Notices
Welcome back to Station Plaza!
We hope you’ve had a chance to relax over the break—or that you had a fun, action-packed holiday—and that you’re now feeling ready to come back and get back into learning.
We know January can be a tough month, so we’ve got lots of activities planned to keep things joyful, with more to be revealed each week.
If you need a bit of extra support this January, feel free to stop by for a friendly conversation with the Wellbeing team.
