We’ve got an exciting week planned for #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek and our focus this week is all about #letsconnect 🤝 Having a healthy relationship with ourselves and others can help improve our mental health - it’s essential to our wellbeing 🧠💭

Our staff Lunch’n’Learn wellbeing sessions are off to a great start. Thank you to Miss Canavan for welcoming us to @StMattstech and for taking staff through how to design and make their very own personalised key rings for their lanyards! 🛠️🪚 #Wellbeing
