Student Services News
We are still here to help!
The Student Services Wellbeing Team has been blown away by the resilience and good-humour so many of you have displayed as we have shifted to a new style of learning and working together.
We acknowledge the Remote Learning will not always be easy, and that many of our students and families are finding this adjustment challenging. We want you do know that you are not alone.
We continue to encourage you to reach out to us, to support each other and to remember that we are all in this together. Please see below for a guide to accessing Student Wellbeing support during Remote Learning.
Useful wellbeing resources round-up
We know many of you are experiencing an information overload at the moment, but for those of you interested, we found these things useful this week:
- Prioritising self-care! For some people this might be a 5 or 10 minute yoga video, for others journaling or organising a video chat with friends. If you’re not sure what your self-care style is, try this short quiz to find what kind of self-care is right for you
- This article about Talking with teenagers about physical distancing and self-isolation
- These handy tips for online learning and 6 ways to make the most of it
- This 2 minute mindfulness exercise video, which helps us to observe our thoughts and stay focussed on what matters. There’s lots more on the Smiling Mind website, if you’re interested in this kind of thing.
- Watching rainbows and chalk messages of hope pop up in our neighbourhoods
- Learning how teenagers around the world are coping with remote learning and lockdown through the Unicef #stayathome Journal series
