ELSA - February 2025

Children’s Mental Health Week 2025

ELSA has been celebrating Children’s Mental Health Week, with this year’s theme being Know Yourself, Grow Yourself. The aim of the week is to encourage young people to explore how understanding themselves can help them build resilience, grow, and develop. 

ELSA, along with the Mental Health Ambassadors, organised an awareness event during lunchtime, where students were invited to check in on their emotions and take part in a mindfulness pom-pom-making activity. The significance of the pom-poms was revealed later in the week with the installation of an art project in the school courtyard. 

The decorated tree symbolises the personal growth of our young people, encouraging them to embrace self-awareness and reflect on what it means to them. The tree has become a real talking point, highlighting the positive message of the week. 

A big thank you to all the students who contributed to making the pom-poms!
