From the Pastoral Care and Wellbeing Coordinator

Good afternoon everyone,

As we enter the midpoint of the term and with most year groups receiving notifications for upcoming assessment tasks, it is important that students maintain a balanced approach to their learning and wellbeing. The establishment of a regular pattern of study each night to keep on top of homework and assessments, finding time to exercise, maintaining a healthy diet and ensuring that they are getting adequate sleep are a few key points that should be considered when managing and prioritising time. The SEEEDSS plan, contained in the student diaries, provides some useful tips and strategies for students to refer to as a guide for navigating their way through the demands of high school life.
