Mental Health Month

October is Mental Health Month, a great opportunity to remind ourselves that looking after our mental health and wellbeing is just as important as looking after our physical health.

Throughout the month, I encourage our students, staff and families to focus on the small things we can do each day to support our wellbeing. This might be spending time outside, moving our bodies, connecting with someone we care about, getting enough sleep, practising gratitude or simply taking some time to slow down and recharge.

This Mental Health Calendar, with a focus on “Together We Thrive”, has a simple wellbeing idea for each day of the month. These activities are designed to be easy, achievable, and suitable for the whole family. You might like to stick the calendar on the fridge and see how many you can try together!

Remember, looking after our mental health doesn’t always require big changes – small actions, practised regularly, can make a big difference to how we feel.
