On 24th October 2025, our school celebrated Mental Health Day, a little later than usual to accommodate Year 11 mocks. This special day was dedicated to raising awareness of mental wellbeing and reminding students of the importance of taking time for themselves, especially during busy or stressful periods.
Mental health is just as important as physical health — taking moments to relax, reflect, and recharge helps students manage stress, build resilience, and maintain focus in their studies and daily lives. By pausing from the usual hustle, students can nurture their emotional wellbeing, supporting happier, healthier, and more balanced lives.
Students enjoyed a variety of activities designed to help them unwind and enjoy mindful moments, from calligraphy and reading, to football, bookmark making, peaceful walks, crocheting, cake decorating, board games, and colouring in. To complement these activities, each student received a care package containing a chocolate straw and a biscuit, offering a small but meaningful escape from life’s busy noise.
Mental Health Day was a wonderful opportunity for students to pause, explore creative outlets, connect with friends, and focus on self-care, reinforcing that taking care of our mental wellbeing is something we should all prioritise every day.
