💚 World Mental Health Awareness Day – 10th October 💚

This World Mental Health Day, we’re shining a light on the importance of looking after our mental health and supporting one another. 🧠💚
Although World Mental Health Day is on 10th October, we’ll be celebrating all week in school with a range of drop-ins, activities and opportunities to talk, connect and learn. 🌱✨
Students keep an eye out for information on key messages, activities and ways you can get involved throughout the week! 👀📣
Remember, it’s okay to not be okay — and you don’t have to face things alone. 💚
“There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.” — John Green 🌟
Let’s make mental health a conversation we can all be part of. 💬💚

POETRY COMPETITIONS ARE HERE — AND WE WANT YOUR WORDS!
Entries are coming in thick and fast for our two exciting poetry competitions, and there’s still time to get involved!
A WORLD OF WONDER — JUST FOR Y7
Let your imagination run wild! Write about something real, something imagined, something you love, or somewhere you’ve always wanted to go.
A dragon’s cave. Outer space. Your favourite animal. Ancient Egypt. A perfect day. A strange invention. A magical creature. A better world.
Any theme. Any style. One simple starting point: IMAGINATION.
And there’s a chance to win a fantastic reading and writing gift hamper!
UNITE — OPEN TO EVERYONE
When the world divides, words connect.
What matters to you? Your friends. Your family. Your community. A team you belong to. Something you love. Something you would change. A cause you believe in. A place that matters. A hope for the future.
Unite is completely open-themed, so your poem can start with anything that matters to you. You could even connect it to something you’ve been learning about in school.
And there’s more — you could win a Kindle and have your creative writing published in a colourful anthology, just like the amazing collections on display in the library!
So, what are you waiting for? Get writing, get creative and let your words be heard!
To find out more or pick up competition details, speak to your English teacher or Miss Cotton in EN4.
Your imagination. Your voice. Your poem. Your chance to shine.

This week, Mrs Godwin has been leading our Black History Month assemblies for students across year groups.

With a strong focus on community, including our own Preston community, the assemblies have explored the impact, influence and importance of music throughout Black History and the role it has played in bringing people together, expressing identity and creating change. 🎶

The assemblies have been fantastic – engaging, informative and thought-provoking, giving our students plenty to reflect on.

A huge thank you to Mrs Godwin for the time, care and enthusiasm she has put into delivering such meaningful assemblies to our students. 💙

💙 Young Carers Group 💙
Are you a young carer? Is your child a young carer? Come along to our Young Carers Group every Thursday, 3.15–3.45pm.
It’s a relaxed opportunity to meet other young carers, share experiences, support one another and have some time to connect with others who understand.
An email has been sent to parents/carers with a form to complete, if you believe your child needs any support please respond to the email and I can meet with students to discuss further.
We’d love to see you there! 🌟
Miss McEwan 🙂
