This year for World Mental Health Day we celebrated with lots of different activities around school. Pupils have all had an assembly by Mrs Price and Dillon R, one of our wellbeing ambassadors, on this year’s theme which is ‘Mental Health in the Workplace’ which included the importance of mental health and ways to look after your own mental health. This has included a more in depth look at Mindfulness, which has been followed up in form time with a daily ‘Mindful Minute’, which pupils have been able to use to practice taking time to ground themselves and be mindful. Year 8 took part in ‘Walk a mile’ to support the ‘connect’ and ‘keep active’ tips from our top tips, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all and despite one day being postponed due to the weather, they still managed to clock up an impressive 874 laps of the astroturf across the week. On Thursday 10th October we marked the day by wearing yellow accessories and pupils enjoyed visiting the wellbeing stands in the hall and café at break time. After a very successful week, we would also like to do a big shout out to the wellbeing ambassadors who have played a crucial role this week supporting another popular Brew Monday, clocking up all those laps of the astroturf, encouraging and chatting to their peers through ‘Walk a Mile’ and even co-delivering the assembly, they have done us proud. We are very much looking forward to our next events.
