On Friday 19 March we celebrated National Day Against Bullying (NDAB), alongise Harmony Day. NDAB saw a number of lunchtime events, run by the student leadership team that promoted ways to be post positvie messages on social media, write positive comments for oterhs to see and read around the school. We also had giveaways and the extremely talented band entertained us all.

NDAB aligns with our Act Belong Commit ethos of being community minded and striving to look after each other.

Act Belong Commit have recently launched a new range of TV adverts and a new logo, but still provide the same message about styaing mentlaly and physically active to promote positive mental health and all activities we undertake at the school sit under this framework.

You can visit the website to get ideas on ways to keep yourself mentally healthy. One tip offered on the website is below, and considering the area in which we live it shouldn’t be difficult to achieve this goal!

• A new studyhas revealed that 2 hours a week in nature is the 'dose' you need to increase health and happiness. And it doesn't have to be pristine wilderness. Your local park, the beach, community garden or bush land are all natural environments!
