It is not just our physical health that we need to be aware of but also our mental health which is just, as if not more, important.ย 

 

As you will know, Mental Health Week was 12th May to 16th May. As a school we have mental health champions, there is also a meeting in L8 at lunchtime from 13:20 – 14:00 on a Wednesday (Worry Free Wednesday)

 

There are also many people you can talk to if you are feeling unsettled/anxious or worried within the Pastoral Team or wider staff body.

 

There are also outside agencies that you can contact such a Mind, Herts Haven Cafe,

 

Below is a small exercise you can do to help you calm and recentre yourself:-ย 

 

  1. Sit Comfortably, with your feet flat on the floor
  2. Place your left hand on your stomach
  3. Place your right hand on your chest
  4. Close your eyes
  5. Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose
  6. Breathe out slowly and deeply through your mouth

 

Take notice of how your chest and stomach rises and falls, notice how your body begins to relax, continue this exercise for 10 minutes
