Self-Care Matters

As we come to the end of our third week of remote learning, the importance of self-care becomes more and more evident for all of us. Self-care refers to activities undertaken with the intention of enhancing energy, restoring health and reducing stress. Whilst we navigate our way through stay at home orders and remote learning, self-care must be a priority. With this in mind, Year 9 have been enjoying a range of activities in Pastoral time to prioritise self-care and to promote its importance to those family members that may be learning and working at home too. Starting this week, Year 9 students have been given a range of self-care activities to select from and then spend their Tuesday morning completing them.

We certainly are all in this together and Year 9 are enjoying making self-care a priority.

Activities suggested to Year 9 range from meditation, journalling, going for a walk and baking, to manicures, learning a language, origami, yoga and daggy dancing. With many more options in between, there's something for everyone. Ask your daughter how she plans to spend her next Tuesday morning and perhaps, if you're working from home, you could join her too. Remember, we are all in this together!
