Our pupil Wellbeing Ambassadors banished the January Blues with a fantastic and vibrant Wellbeing Week.
Aimed to bolster pupils’ positive mental attitude, spark conversations about the importance of wellbeing, and break the stigma around mental health, the Prep and Senior School focused on a different theme each day to encourage pupils to Take Notice, Connect, Get Active and Give Back.
From January 6th to January 10th, the Prep School hosted yoga sessions, mindful colouring, hot chocolate chats and sports team building, finishing with our annual charity Prep School disco.
At the Senior School, pupils were encouraged to put pen to paper with kindness notes and self-reflecting journaling, alongside creating their own virtual messages of kindness with wellbeing videos, a House Bake-Off competition, and a brilliant ‘Wear a Onesie’ day.
Driven by our Wellbeing Prefect Mimi B, alongside our Wellbeing Ambassadors, Mimi said: “Pupils from across the Senior and Prep School have had such an enjoyable Wellbeing Week – especially with the Bake-Off competition and PJ Day. The idea of recording our own virtual messages of kindness was created by our Wellbeing Ambassadors, Louis M and Finn S, as a fun way to encourage pupils to talk about different ways to improve their wellbeing.
“Wellbeing Weeks like this are so important for the school community, especially at the start of a new year. It provides support across all year groups to make everyone feel less alone with their feelings, and the exciting daily activities adds fun, joy and a reassuring sense of belonging into the first week back.”
