“Yesterday we were delighted to welcome Joel and Natalie back from the Youth Mental Health Foundation who led workshops with our Y3 and Y4 classes this time.
Once again a huge thank you to the Councillor for Launceston North, Adam Paynter, who has championed our school visit yet again.
In the ‘What’s Your Genius?’ Mental Health Workshops the children learnt more about Neurodiversity and how all of our brains work differently. We were able to share a lot of our learnt knowledge about a famous mathematician and scientist : Albert Einstein and learnt that he had autism and that he was a Genius.
We learnt about other famous individuals and looked at the different qualities and gifts of each genius and identified which genius type we are- some of us identified more than one genius type.
At St Stephens Community Academy we know the importance of not only our physical health but also our mental health .These amazing workshops greatly support our school drive to support our pupil’s overall well-being and to learn coping strategies to navigate the ups and downs of life.
We are so grateful for these workshops and to the people who coordinated our involvement in them.
Here are some snapshots from the workshop!
