13 Oct World Mental Health Day
Well done!
On Tuesday 10th October we celebrated World Mental Health Day at JRCS. We did this in a few ways:
1.Assemblies – We had Key Stage assemblies devoted to the topic of mental health awareness including a personal story shared with KS4 and KS5 by myself and Mrs House sharing her psychology knowledge with KS3.
2.Tutor time programme – Every year group has completed an activity relating to caring for their own wellbeing during tutor time.
3.Hello Yellow – Finally, we asked staff to wear as much yellow as they could and students to add a splash of yellow to their uniform (socks/bows/bobbles/scarves). Here you can see some amazing staff commitment to the cause!
Here at JRCS we are passionate about ensuring every young person and staff member in our school community feels valued and with a voice. We hope that they know they can reach for to support at any time by using the Imabi App to report concerns, speaking to a trusted adult in school or by following any of the links on our school website ‘Wellbeing Hub’.
Next week, a further 10 staff members across the school will be training in being a Mental Health Champion with further training for Mental Health First Aid in November. Furthermore, we are hoping to have training for parents/carers in being a Mental Health Champion and welcome expressions of interest via the Head of Year for your child.
Our theme this week has been kindness. We are a great school community and we achieve this by simply being kind. So, remember when asking if someone is okay, ask twice to be sure!
