Children’s Mental Health Week

As part of Children’s Mental Health Week, students across the school took part in a range of creative activities designed to promote wellbeing, self-expression, and open conversations around mental health.

Year 7 students holding Memory boxesArt Club students used their creativity to design inspirational quote artwork and illustrations of the things that bring them happiness. Meanwhile, Art students worked on Happiness Backpacks, beautifully decorated to represent their sources of joy, comfort, and positivity.

In Year 7, students engaged in two meaningful projects. They created memory boxes, which encouraged open discussions about mental health while sharing special memories of family and friends. They also designed emotion and personality posters, using colour and creativity to visually express their feelings and individuality.

Artwork from Childrens Mental Health Week“Art makes me feel calm and in control of my emotions. Art creates different emotions to visualise the artists' emotions. Mental health is important to me because I can help myself and others.” Temi.N – Year 9  

“In Art Club I have been designing a resilience backpack using my two favourite inspirational quotes; “Imperfection is a form of freedom’ and ‘Believe you can do anything and you’re halfway there.’” Yumna.S – Year 7
