CHILDREN’S MENTAL HEALTH WEEK: Let’s grow together
It’s Children’s Mental Health Week from 7 to 13 February, and you can get involved: take time to reflect on your own unique journey and set some new goals
MENTAL HEALTH: dealing with overwhelming feelings
Struggling with recurring negative thoughts? It’s normal to feel isolated in your feelings but you are not alone. It takes courage to cope with these feelings every day but sharing will help you realise that many other people are in similar situations
SUBJECT CHOICES: making the right decision for you
Don’t know where to start with your subject choices? Whether it’s your first or last time selecting subjects the whole process can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Researching your subject choices can even help you find out more about yourself and what you want to do in the future. If you already have a set career in mind then make an appointment with your careers advisor at school to help ensure that your choices suit this.
STUDY TIPS: Organising your time
Feeling like you don’t have enough time to study? It’s normal to feel overwhelmed with exams gradually approaching, but becoming more organised will help you take control of your learning.
