Wellbeing
Mr Shuttleworth
Family Wellbeing Night
A huge thanks to the families who attended our wellbeing night last week. Aoife, our provisional psychologist, presented some valuable information around emotional regulation and managing challenging behaviours. We'd like to thank Aoife for all the work she's done with us this term, and we look forward to welcoming our new provisional psychologist, Kevin, who'll be starting with us next term.
The Resilience Project
Today’s presentation from The Resilience Project is all about Mindfulness.
Mindfulness is our ability to be present at any given moment. We practise this by using intentional awareness and concentrating on what you are doing when you are doing it.
Thousands of studies into Mindfulness indicate that with regular practise, Mindfulness can lead to benefits such as; reduced stress, reduced rumination, increased memory, increased cognitive function and physical health benefits through improved immunity.

Mindfulness can be practised through meditation, yoga, flow-states and daily activities such as cooking.
