Wellbeing Warriors
Stranton's Wellbeing Warriors are a group of children who all believe that the wellbeing of everyone in the school is fundamental to their happiness and good mental health. They meet on a regular basis to ensure that any concerns are highlighted as well as to discuss how they are going to promote the 5 Ways to Wellbeing which cover the following themes:
- Connect - Talk, listen, be there, feel connected.
- Be Active - Do what you can, enjoy what you do, move your mood.
- Take Notice - Remember the simple things that give you joy.
- Keep Learning - Embrace new experiences, seek opportunities, surprise yourself.
- Give - Your time, your words, your presence.
Our Wellbeing Warriors have a special duty to fulfil within school. At break and lunch times, they ensure they are present and visible to all on the yard, this enables children to actively seek them out if they need to talk to them or simply want some quiet time.
The Wellbeing Warriors aim to:
- Change the way we all think and act about how we feel - this is our mental health.
- Understand and accept that we ALL have different feelings and it is okay to not be okay!
- support others make good choices but won't be able to solve every problem.
- Listen to others so that they can talk about how they are feeling.
- Be non-judgemental
