With the end of the school year fast approaching, we’re all in a bit of tail-spin of activity; madly trying to tie up loose ends if our children are moving off to new schools in September, and also, somehow trying to ensure that the connections that have been built over many years are somehow shored up, and plans made to keep in touch. 

Being Teachable is a Key Skill. 

Half-term Check-in

This week is Mental Health Awareness week, and we shall present our final Wellbeing Matters (Live) event at school on Saturday morning (20 May), which will focus specifically on this very important topic.

I’m not sure we ever got taught to be self-aware when I was at school. Our education seemed to revolve only around things that were perceived to be practical, and that would translate into us becoming solid citizens who would contribute to society in some way.

I’ve recently contacted a few old friends to find out how they are, and to catch up on some news. I’ve not seen some of them in a number of years, and much has taken place during that time for each of us. What struck me though, is that all of us remarked on how busy life has become, and how little time there appears to be for meaningful rest.
