Here is why the The Mental Health Foundation chose the theme of Kindness:
“We have chosen kindness because of its singular ability to unlock our shared humanity. Kindness strengthens relationships, develops community and deepens solidarity. It is a cornerstone of our individual and collective mental health. Wisdom from every culture across history recognises that kindness is something that all human beings need to experience and practise to be fully alive.”
This really highlights how important our school mantra ‘Our school has a mind to be kind’ really is. We advocate kindness in our school community and our local community as it is such an important part of society and research suggests that helping others helps your own mental health.
