19 Apr Mind of the Student Workshops
Well done!
This week we were fortunate to have the team from Mind of the Student in school to break down the stereotypes around mental health in young people and give practical advice.
Years 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 all completed the workshop and had the opportunity to share their experiences and personal methods of improving their wellness.
Students were shown the ‘bucket’ analogy whereby some volunteers added water to a large tube until it almost overflowed, visually representing the things that may add stress to our minds. This included social media, exam stress, relationships and much more. They then explained how self-care can support you to release some of that water and empty the bucket and free up some space.
Students left the session having completed positive affirmations such as ‘I’m worthy, I am kind, I am beautiful’, and a pocket guide to mental health.
We want to thank Mind of the Student for this great opportunity and thank our students for their positive engagement!
