Our Year 7s had a brilliant time at Latymer School for an author talk with Anthony McGowan! He discussed his new book, writing process, and how his childhood and love of animals shaped his work. A thoughtful, inspiring session—topped off with a book signing! #AuthorVisit

It's day 2 of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. Today, students are focusing on mindfulness. Research suggests that just 10-20 minutes of colouring a day can reduce anxiety & stress, promote a state of mindfulness and potentially improves cognitive functioning and focus. Give it a go!

It's day 3 of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. Today it's about taking screen breaks. While screentime can feel like a break from stress, it often makes things worse, especially during exam season. We are encouraging student to take the ABC screen break challenge. Give it a go!

It's day 4 of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and today's tip is Mindful Journaling. This is the writing in a journal while being fully present and aware of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Give it a go!
