Embracing Well-being: Lower School Week of Mindful Activities

At St George's, we prioritise nurturing the overall well-being of our students. Over the course of Mental Health Awareness Week 2024, our Lower School has embraced a special focus on mindfulness and self-care.

Throughout the week of the 13th- 17th May, students engaged in activities that help to promote a positive well-being, including mindfulness & meditation, chalk murals, fitness/yoga, nature bingo and nature art. An assembly lead by our Head, Mrs Chandler-Thompson, highlighted five key habits for a healthy mind:

1. Getting enough sleep
2. Exercising regularly
3. Practising mindfulness
4. Connecting with others
5. Challenging negative thoughts

Mrs Mushat introduced the "Wellbeing Journal," encouraging students to express themselves mindfully through writing. The week aimed to raise awareness about self-care while involving students in mindful practices.

We're grateful to all who participated in this enriching experience, reaffirming our commitment to the holistic development of our students.
