Wellbeing Week took place from 6-10 of November. The whole school participated in this event
and on Monday morning ribbons were distributed to everyone in the year. Every year received
different coloured ribbons which were developed by YSI to promote positive well-being,
emotional awareness and happiness.
The same day, we received a speech from the Minister for Health, Simon Harris, and Alison
Canavan. Simon Harris talked about the new and improved Food Pyramid and how following it's
guidelines can keep us out of the hospital for longer. Alison Canavan spoke to us about how
important good mental health is and how simple meditation and breathing techniques can
improve our mental health dramatically.
The next day, Fourth Year had a talk on the topic of nutrition and how probiotic foods are very
important to help digest other foods properly. During the talk, it was also mentioned that what
we eat influences our mental health substantially.
To wrap up Wellbeing Week, the whole of Transition Year took part in the Aware Workshop.
The presentation taught the students how to recognise the symptoms and causes of anxiety,
depression and bipolar disorder.
