‘When life gives you rain, jump in the puddles!’
‘When life gives you rain, jump in the puddles!’
…and although we may be anticipating some rain next week, that will not let us stop us from embracing Wellbeing Week in all its glory. This year’s theme is ‘Spiritually Speaking,’ a springboard and catalyst for students to tap into their authentic selves and reconnect with nature – rain or shine!
The week will be centred around inspiring talks with broadcaster, Journalist and Activist Mary Mandefield, Musician and Song Writer from alt- pop duo ‘Oh Wonder’ Josie Vanderwest, and Karen Liebenguth, Green Space Coach and Mindfulness Expert.
Form classes will be given wildflower seedlings to tenderly nurture and grow until they are strong enough to colour the grounds. Daily thoughts for the day, random acts of kindness such as flowers, letters and cupcakes, drop-in art spaces and breath work classes, Mindfulness podcasts, alongside interactive and visual reminders about the wellbeing team and where students can get support if they feel they need it, will all be present to encourage students to find their voice and use it, meaningfully, to express themselves and reconnect with the space that they live in, and each other.
