Wellbeing this term in the senior school has had a focus on recognising kindness as well as self-care. These themes were identified by our team of student Wellbeing Ambassadors as being important areas to tackle in January, which can sometimes feel like a long, dark month.

In assembly this week I told the School that friendships can hurt, and cause pain, but that they are worth it.

The Headmaster had reminded the School that connections within our community are special, with the relationships within Rossall being an aspect which makes it special.  I very much agree, but it is easy at times to hide away for fear of hurt, and want to perhaps not connect in case of hurt.
