What does it mean to be a "WellGael"?

A WellGael student understands thats wellness is an active and ongoing process, seeks resources and support to thrive, finds "personal harmony" within the 8 dimension of wellness (social, emotional, physical, spiritual, career, environmental, financial and intellectual) and engages with wellness-related opportunities.  From Wellness Wednesday events to educational workshops to yoga classes we strive to ensure your well-being is top priority.
