World Mental Health Day is celebrated every year on 10th October and this year's theme is workplace mental health. The theme highlights the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, so today, let's take a moment to check in with your friends, family, peers, or colleagues. This World Mental Health Day, we thought it would be nice for the central team to come together to talk about mental health and why it matters. We hosted a 'Tea and Chat' session at our head office with homemade cakes and cookies and one of our colleagues ran a body scan and breath work meditation session to help staff find ways to find calm and release anxiety. Talking about our mental health can help us cope better with life's ups and downs and please remember, that your mental health matters, and there is support for everyone within the Trust, your schools and outside of work if you need it. #Teaandtalk #Pinitformentalhealth #WorldMentalHealthDay
On Tuesday 1st October 2024, Waterfront UTC hosted the Trust's first Pupil Parliament of this academic year and welcomed our newest members. Two pupil representatives from each of our eight schools met with the Trust's Chief Executive Owen McColgan and Director of Primary Education Barry Symons to discuss important topics that they feel impact the time at school. Once cookies had been munched and the introductions made, the pupils leapt into action, voicing ideas for positive changes they would like to see across the Trust from environmental impact to inclusion and shared clubs and activities. It was a lively session, and every pupil was engaged, sharing and offering advice to each other and to the senior leaders of the Trust with the unified goal of making a positive impact on their education, their school and their peers. Their excellent ideas have been heard, and we, as a Trust, can not wait to start implementing ways to facilitate these ideas into a reality that they can both see and feel at their schools. We look forward to hosting the next meeting to share these improvements with the Pupil Parliament.
