Hey OSS! Tomorrow, let's show our support for our Toronto Blue Jays as they go into game 5 of the American League Championship Series by wearing your Blue Jays gear. Don't have any? Wear something blue! Go Jays Go!!
Yesterday the Nighthawks traveled to Maple Ridge to face the Ravens. The Girls battled hard in the paint, with stellar defense holding the Ravens to one of their lowest scoring games. The opportunities to score for the Nighthawks were falling short. Great help side teamwork was the success for the Nighthawks. Good luck in the Barrie Showdown tomorrow!
Could all available Students for Change members please meet in the front foyer immediately after these announcements?
Hey Nighthawks! Did you know that one of the main uses of Chat GPT and other AI platforms is people seeking mental health information and supports?
When seeking out mental health information, advice, and especially counselling it's important to consider the reputability and training of the company or person providing the advice. In the case of folks asking AI chat bots for mental health advice and support, we are seeing a big uptick in negative mental health outcomes and even psychosis related to AI chat bots mental health advice because AI doesn't yet understand the complexities of mental health.
If you are seeking mental health supports reach out to your guidance counsellor or vice principal, or scan of the QR code posters for Social Work appointments. And always remember that calling 988 is a 24/7 free and confidential support when you are in crisis.
Reminder that the mental health club is meeting today at lunch in room 227! See you there!
