Olivia captures the essence of Wellbeing

Marsden Year 12 student, Olivia Boulieris has a wonderful eye for photography and has used this to great effect to create a stunning self-published book entitled 'Wellbeing'. Olivia spent weeks photographing things that resemble letters of the alphabet in and around school, then finding appropriate quotes to go with them.

Olivia's favourite page is 'P' for Perserverance - You never fail until you stop trying

In Olivia's words:

"The reason why I chose wellbeing is because I realised it is not simply something to have in my life but also a state of mind. Everyone has their own struggles and it made me realise that it is the simple things that help you get through life. If you are negative all the time you are going to get nowhere."

I chose the quotes in the book to give the reader motivation and help them the way it has helped me. "

Nurture - Very little is needed to make a happy life, it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.

Joyful - Joy does not simply happen to us we have to choose joy. And keep choosing it everyday.

Self Care - You can't pour from an empty cup, so take care of yourself first.

Olivia's book embodies the spirit of what we are trying to achieve at Marsden with our Visible Wellbeing™ approach.

Her A to Z of Wellbeing is a beautiful project she should be very proud of, as we are proud of her!
