Mindfulness Monday
Mrs Wiley will be providing a video each Monday with mindfulness and well being techniques for the week ahead. These will also be saved on our new Well Being Portal.

Headspace Wednesday
This session will be aimed at providing startegies to support good head space at this challenging time. These will also be saved on our new Well Being Portal.

Digisafe Worksheets
With the majority of children and young people at home it's important to keep the online safety conversation going. To help parents with this LGfL are continuing to put together worksheets that parents can use with their children.

A link to this is also in the lockdown support section of our Well Being portal.

Well Being portal
On the student platform (rmunify) there is a link which will take you to the Well Being portal.
Within this area you will find support around Lockdown Advice, Emotional Well Being, Organisation, Self Esteem and many more.
