This Thursday, we proudly celebrated World Mental Health Day at school. The day was filled with activities and discussions aimed at raising awareness about the importance of mental health and well-being. Our children participated in lessons designed to help them understand the value of looking after their mental health, and we encouraged open conversations about feelings, self-care, and supporting one another.
