This involves the whole school community coming together in order to create a safe, positive and healthy attitude towards our general physical and mental health and well-being. We have some great ideas on how to do this:
- An Amber Flag Committee led by students from each classroom
- Well being policy for school
- Rainbow Day
- Sensory Garden
- Wellness Week
- Create an Amber Flag notice board in the hall with a positive ‘Affirmation of the Week' and 'Anthem of the Week'
We will document our activities here.
