Each year, our school likes to acknowledge Mental Health Month by creating a whole school project. This year, the theme of Mental Health Month is ‘Tune In’. Tune into your own wellbeing, but also tuning in to the wellbeing of the community around you.

On Monday I had the opportunity to talk to the school community about tuning into the wellbeing of each other. At the same time, each member of our school community who was present on Monday had the opportunity to contribute to our whole school project - The ‘Be Kind’ Mural.

This mural says: In a world where you can: Be Kind.

We were lucky enough to have a very talented past student (Jimmie Carney) create the artwork and wording for our mural - and each student and staff member then placed their painted handprint on it.

The mural will hang in the Infants eating area as a reminder to all that being kind to others - even with just a smile - not only improves the wellbeing of the community, but also increases our own wellbeing.
