The second takeaway point from this pillar is ‘How can we use our hobbies to de-stress?’. Every single one of us is faced with a certain level of stress in our lives at some point. We appreciate that our students with have pressures and stress to deal with from many different aspects of their lives, therefore it is crucial that we talk about how we can help identify these stressors and how we can help manage those stress levels. This is another big step in identifying how we can maintain a healthy mind in order to benefit our wellbeing.

During our Boarding House assemblies this week, we will be specifically talking to the students about ‘How can we identify personal stressors’. The idea behind this topic is that it’s important to learn how to identify what it is exactly that is putting under stress, before we then find appropriate activities and strategies to help alleviate that stress. Please find a video below that we will be showing to our students this week, to provide them with more knowledge surrounding stress management.
