The theme for this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week is 'This is my Place'. That means feeling like you’re part of something, such as your family, your class, your group of friends or your House. These happy moments help us feel connected, valued, and accepted. When we feel like we belong, we feel happy, safe, and ready to learn and play. It helps us grow strong in our minds and bodies, and it makes it easier to make friends, do well in school, and feel good about ourselves.

During Children’s Mental Health Week, we’ll be talking about our school values and how we can help everyone feel like they belong. We’ll discuss how to be kind, include others, and make sure no one feels left out. Because everyone deserves to feel like they have a place where they are accepted, cared for, and loved.

On Monday 9th February, we are inviting students to wear clothing that makes them feel most comfortable – this might be pyjamas, something that expresses their individuality, or bright colours to help them “shine bright”🌞.
