Some of our students enjoyed a wellbeing event this week. Learning how to recognise when our stress bucket is full. We explored fun and creative ways to support our mental health and wellbeing. These included getting active through sports and relaxing with a sip-and-paint session. A wonderful day of learning, laughter and self-care, reminding us that looking after our wellbeing is just as important as looking after our physical health.
