This week, our house came together to explore the important topic of body image. In a safe and supportive space, the girls reflected on what the term means to them and discussed how insecurities around body image are often learned rather than innate. The session encouraged everyone to think critically about the influences that shape how we feel about ourselves and how societal pressures can be challenged.

As part of the workshop, the girls shared their thoughts and feelings, then finished by writing positive messages – both to themselves and for younger students – on decorative sticky notes. The comments were inspiring and the discussion was thought-provoking, reminding us of the power of kindness and self-acceptance.
