Wellbeing
As described by 'Mind'...
'Mental wellbeing describes your mental state - how you are feeling and how well you can cope with day-to-day life.
Our mental wellbeing is dynamic. It can change from moment to moment, day to day, month to month or year to year.
If you have good mental wellbeing, you are able to:
-
feel relatively confident in yourself and have positive self-esteem
-
feel and express a range of emotions
-
build and maintain good relationships with others
-
feel engaged with the world around you
-
live and work productively
-
cope with the stresses of daily life
-
adapt and manage in times of change and uncertainty'
Here at South Hill, we are supporting our pupils to become more self aware about their mental health and emotional wellbeing.
PSHE lessons and assemblies focus on the themes of 5 ways of Wellbeing. These are: Give, Connect, Learn, Active and Notice.
Each term, a Wellbeing newsletter is published for parents and carers with up to date information such as workshops and specific curriculum weeks based on Mental Health.
The school has a Mental Health and Wellbeing lead, Miss Wren, who would be happy to help if you have any concerns or need further support.
