Next week we are celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week.

As you know, supporting mental wellbeing is already a huge priority at Drongan PS and is weaved through our daily curriculum.

Next week there will be an even bigger focus on mental wellbeing, with our pupils learning more about what mental health is and the different emotions that can be experienced and how to cope with them.

Part of the message children will learn, is that each one of them is unique and should be proud of who they are.

So, on Thursday 10th February we are encouraging children to come to school ‘Dressed to Express’.  This could be wearing an outfit/colours that best match their personality,  showing off their favourite hairstyles. Subtle or standout…anything goes!

No money donation will be required. This will simply be a day for children to express themselves and support this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week.

Look out for further posts next week, with tips and ideas on how you can help support your child/children’s mental health at home.
