Mental Health Day Activities at ISS

World Mental Health Day is celebrated to bring awareness and get people talking about their mental health and bring positivity into our lives. In PSHE lessons at ISS, students all learned about how to express their emotions, how to be mentally healthy and how they can ask for help if they are feeling overwhelmed.

Senior students in Year 9 gave positive cards and bookmarks to primary students during break, Year 8 brought home-made goodies and snacks to share with friends across all Senior year groups and Year 7 made posters to spread words of kindness and hope. In Primary, students carried out activities in class, with Reception drawing some beautiful balloons of happiness and KS2 taking part in an assembly dedicated to this day.
