Take 5 School Launch

We are very excited to announce that this term, in recognition of the on-going commitment to pupil, staff and community well-being, we have been awarded TAKE 5 SCHOOL status.

We were delighted to officially launch as a Take 5 school to mark the beginning of Mental Health Awareness week on Monday 10th May 2021 and we were joined in celebration by the Take 5 expert from the Education Authority, Chris Lindsay.

We received our official ‘Take 5 school’ banner and announced out first two Pupil Champions. Head Boy and Girl, Jakub and Chloe are very deserving pioneers of the pupil voice in the Take 5 message. They made a fantastic contribution to Wellbeing Wednesday every week throughout lockdown. Congratulations to them both.

Chris brought along a Take 5 well-being pack for each of our Leaver Students who have worked so hard in and out of Lockdown to achieve their A Levels and who are very deserving of a treat at the end of a very challenging journey. The packs were kindly donated by Janine Gaston of Impact Network NI:
