Mental Health Week
(Keep an eye out – more photos to follow!)
This week (10th – 15th of October) is Mental Health Week, to raise awareness about the importance of Mental Health we carried out a theme each day, with lots of fun events each day.
Monday:
“Smile More Day” – the purpose of this day is to promote positivity around the school. Two students from TY read out our thought for the day over the intercom and towards the end of the day different TY students handed out lollipops to every student and teacher in the school, and hopefully put a smile on their faces.
Tuesday:
On Tuesday, our theme for the day was healthy eating, where some TY students and Ms. Cooney prepared a fruit promotion stand at break time, while at lunch there was a competition for the healthiest lunch box.
Wednesday:
On Wednesday, the theme for the day will be exercise. Each year will go outside from 10 to 11 to walk around the school to promote “every little helps” or “a little goes a long way”.
Thursday:
The aim of the day will be to inform students about all the help available outside of the school grounds for them e.g darkness into light and pieta house. We will have a stand opposite the canteen with brochures offering support for Mental Health issues.
Friday:
“Walk in my shoes”. This is a fundraiser where students get the opportunity to decorate their shoes or wear odd shoes into school.
