**Wear it Loud, Wear it Proud!**

On Thursday, 10th October, we recognized World Mental Health Day. Mental health challenges affect us all at times, and coping can be difficult when things get tough. No young person should feel alone in their struggles, and together, we can make a difference.

In October, our school community—students and staff alike—demonstrated tremendous support by wearing yellow and contributing what they could. Through various fundraising activities such as cake sales, a Mario Kart competition, and visits from therapy dog and a mobile zoo, we raised funds for Young Minds. These donations will go towards creating vital mental health resources, advocating for local support hubs, and running their helpline.

As always, our students went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more proud of their commitment to such an important cause.
