Dear Parents, Carers and Students
Supporting and encouraging good mental health is in all of our interests. I know that school and exams can sometimes be the cause of anxiety and for some students, hearing me pushing revision in the weeks prior to our Trial Exam season doesn’t seem to help.
I try to get the balance right with simple advice and giving you plenty of time to prepare.
Other things to consider are:
Try
Get moving – exercise
Setting aside time – downtime / fun
Learning a new skill – not related to school
Share how you are feeling – friends, home, school, online support
Avoid
Overdoing it – not too much fun
Overworking – stick to your revision plan
Chasing perfection – we learn from our mistakes
Bottling up your feelings – speak to someone
To help with the exercise part we will be offering Gym inductions after 1/2 term. Sign up with Student Services.
