- As part of their follow-up to the Student Conference held at Hollyfield School in February, Year 10 students at Holy Cross School, New Malden, presented two assemblies to Years 7-10 which highlighted the importance of young people looking after their mental health. The students had prepared the assembly content with help from Claire Mulrehan, Young People’s Health Link worker from Kingston NHS. Their presentation drew attention to the importance which friends have in encouraging others to seek help early; they also featured Dr Krause’s ‘Toothbrush Thought’, as a tool to build self-esteem.
- Patsy Preece, Education Co-ordinator for STEM4, attended the assemblies and gave thanks at the end of each one for excellent clarity in delivery, coupled with sound advice from the year 10 students, who had clearly learned a great deal from the Conference.
