Pupil Voice
Welcome to our new Pupil Voice children 24-25. The children attended their first meeting to acquaint themselves to their roles in the school.
Children's Mental Health Week 2025 took place from 3-9 February. The theme for 2025 was Know Yourself, Grow Yourself, with the aim to equip and empower children to embrace self-awareness and explore what it means to them. We want children to discover how getting to know who they are can help them build resilience, grow and develop. Our children attended an online webinar to learn the importance of Mental Health and different ways to take care of themselves. The pupil voice children organised lunch time events, like colouring, reading and yoga. Our children also made flowers to display how they took pride in themselves.
