HCB celebrated World Mental Health Day (Tuesday 10th October) with every class in the school having a superb Aromatherapy and Relaxion session with Donna Hawkins from the Ardoyne Shankill Health Partnership over the last few days.
Thank you so much to Donna for delivering Mental Health Awareness to all our pupils. The boys loved the Massage in Schools Programme, Take 5 to improving mental health in schools. This is a very valuable and worthwhile programme, and we were so lucky to have had it delivered this week.
To complete the Mental Health and Wellbeing theme this week, we have our annual Mental Health Awareness Poster competition tomorrow. We will share the pupil winners with their poster and prize later.
Thank you to our Mental Health Coordinator, Mr Mullan, for organising this fantastic Health and Well-being week.
