Mental Health Awareness Week
n The sun finally came out and nature bloomed as Mental Health Awareness Week took root across the College community. From DUCKS and Junior School pupils to senior students and staff, we were all invited to engage with nature, follow the paths on our Wellbeing College map, and take moments to both self-care and consider the importance of looking after each other and our ownmental health. In Year 3, the boys enjoyed a ‘Positivity Poster’ workshop with Mrs Mulholland, Director of Art and Design and Technology. They produced nature-based collages and then used inspiring, positive words to enthuse our Junior School community. The students inYear 5 experienced a Mindful Yoga session as part of Mental Health Awareness Week. In this session, they learnt poses to help calm the body and mind, but there was less emphasis on their precise posture andmore focus on their breathing and the sensations withintheirbodies.Somemeditative exercises wrapped up this relaxing and positive experience.
