International Men’s Day is celebrated each year to recognise men and boys in our community in all their diversity.
Here at Smestow Academy, we are commemorating this day by celebrating male role models within the Literacy world throughout the week. Mrs Birtwhistle, our Librarian has a fantastic display of books in our Library and pupils in school will see familiar faces promoting reading too.
We would also like to take the opportunity to recognise the importance of positive mental health in the male members of our school.
We are continually looking at ways we can promote positive mental health and some daily strategies that we can use to self-manage. Our staff have also had a positive message to support our pupils by talking to trusted adults around them if they are worried about their own mental health, or that of a friend. You can watch our video below.
Here at Smestow Academy, we also promote top tips for our mental health. They are:
- Be Active
- Connect
- Give
- Keep Learning
- Take Notice
We have also had different examples each day this week as to how we can achieve these.
