World Mental Health Day: 10th October
As a school we have been running a Mental Health Awareness week with today being World Mental Health Day. This week we have had lots of things going on to promote this topic including:
- Mental health posters around school
- Assemblies all week promoting positive mental health
- Taking part in the #Justtalk (which is detailed below).Â
#Justtalk Competition
We would like to congratulate Ryan Kennedy in Year 8Â who won the #Justtalk competition. He was given the opportunity to help direct the video below.
The Just Talk representatives said that Ryan was a deserving winner with his frank and engaging film that highlights how talking can lighten the load when things are getting us down. Ryan commented: “I was so happy that my storyboard was chosen to be part of the #Justtalk campaign. It was really cool working with a real cameraman and high-quality cameras. It allowed my story to come alive!”
Ryan also appeared live on the BBC to promote the #Justtalk campaign. Below is a link for the show and you can hear Ryan’s part from  20:49 – 30:00 with Ryan talking from 25:00 onwards.
