Year 6 Mental Health Ambassadors Conference 2024

In Year 6, pupils had the chance to apply for the role of Mental Health Ambassadors. We were so impressed with the number of Year 6 pupils who applied to become ambassadors. All 18 applicants were interviewed by Miss McGrath and seven candidates were selected for their confident understanding and passion for mental health and wellbeing. 

On Wednesday, 18th September, the seven ambassadors attended the Primary Mental Health Conference, for Kingston Borough at Southborough High School. 

During the conference, the ambassadors participated in various activities to develop a mental health action plan and find ways to promote and support mental health across the school. They also learned about mental health and well-being, including the importance of protective factors, ways to care for their and others' mental health, and also where to seek help.

At the end of the conference, the ambassadors were awarded certificates for completing the day and becoming Kingston Schools' Mental Health Ambassadors.

The ambassadors came away full of ideas on how they would like to lead and support Mental Health across the school.
