Children's Mental Health Week

This year’s Children’s Mental Health Week, themed "Know Yourself, Grow Yourself," provided students with an opportunity to explore and understand their emotions.

Thanks to funding from the PTA, Relax Kids sessions were offered from Nursery to Year 6, helping children develop relaxation techniques, consider their emotions and build resilience.

The Vale Ambassadors played an important role in launching the week by organising and leading an engaging assembly, followed by a "worry workshop" drop-in session on Wednesday, where pupils could seek support and share their concerns.

Ms Amos also opened the modular at lunchtimes, where students could watch Inside Out and Inside Out 2. These films helped pupils identify different emotions, understand how they feel and behave, and learn effective strategies for emotional regulation.

It was a week filled with learning, growth, and support, reinforcing the importance of mental health and well-being.
