Write a commentYear 11 pupils at St Jospeh's Boys High School recently took part in a series of Mood Matters workshops involving Hilary Knight from AWARE NI, on the topic of depression and mental anxiety..
It's part of their Personal Development programme of study, and PD coordinator Brendan Fearon explained that these interactive sessions reflect the proactive approach to mental health improvement at St Joseph’s, something which is positively reinforced through an enriching pastoral care support at school.
He further added that, ‘the holistic approach to pupil welfare and wellbeing is paramount in our duties as teachers at St Joseph’s. With the forthcoming release of an intuitive and interactive school app in the next few weeks – we will significantly develop the capacity we possess as educators to respond to the needs of our pupils and provide them with even greater levels of support and guidance.’
