Wellbeing Pillar 1 – Nurturing Healthy Bodies and Minds
Our first pillar of our Wellbeing Programme is coming to an end. We have shared some fantastic discussions with our students, who have demonstrated fantastic knowledge and and understanding of the topics we have covered.
They have showed us that sports activity, as well as a healthy diet, is crucial for a healthy, happy and successful life.
We have concluded this pillar by asking our students one simple question:
‘How have our friends helped us in maintaining a healthy balanced lifestyle?’
The aim of this question was to encourage the students to reflect on the key takeaway points from this pillar; ‘Sport for a healthy mental balance’ and ‘The importance of nutrition’. They could also reflect on positive influences in their lives, as well as the benefits of group activities.
