Positive Mental Health and Awareness with Lurgan Junior High School
Studyseed CIC take part in Lurgan Junior High School's 'Positive Mental Health and Awareness' Day
Lurgan Junior High School hosted a Positive Mental Health and Awareness event on 9 February 2018 to help their Year 10 students prepare for the upcoming Year 10 (Dickson Plan) Transfer exams in April. This event was organised by The Pupils' Voice - the school's student council - who selected organisations that they felt would help their peers in managing stress and coping with exam pressures.
Studyseed CIC delivered nine workshops throughout the day on time management and study skills, encouraging students to think about different learning techniques and how they spend their free time outside of school hours. It is important that our young students do not become overwhelmed by exam preparation and we wanted to emphasise the importance of effective time management - not just to ensure that enough time is set aside for plenty of revision, but also for students to have dedicated time to relax.
All students were guided through creating personal revision plans in preparation for their Transfer exams. For anyone who missed the event, we have plenty of blank study timetables available - please contact us if you would like to collect a few. We were all extremely impressed with the strong enthusiasm and excellent behaviour shown by all of the Year 10 students - all of whom are a real credit to themselves and their school. It was also a pleasure to deal with the student council in planning the content of the event.
Also delivering workshops on the day were Reach Mentoring ( https://www.reachmentoring.co.uk/
) and Action Mental Health NI ( http://www.amh.org.uk/
). Both are fantastic organisations that support student wellbeing and we were delighted to have the opportunity to take part alongside them on the day.
