Wellbeing Moments

Welcome to our Wellbeing Moment: a chance to pause for a minute and reflect on something small but important. There’s nothing you need to do – just take from it whatever feels useful to you.

This week’s focus is Effort.

Effort is one of the few things in life you can always control.

• You can’t always control:
  • Results
  • Other people
  • How things turn out

But you can control whether you try.

Effort doesn’t mean being the best. It means being willing to have a go, even when things feel hard, boring or don’t go your way straight away.

It might look like:

• Trying in class when you’d rather switch off
• Turning up when you don’t feel like it
• Finishing something you started
• Giving something another go after a setback

Over time, effort builds something important: self-respect.

And if you ever want someone to talk to, you’re always welcome to check in with your Head of Year or our College Psychologists.
