Wellbeing Fayre (Years 10-13)

An invitation for parents and carers

On Friday 18 October 2024, the school will host partners from a range of organisations, charities and faith groups who specialise in supporting young people’s wellbeing. Throughout the day, students in Years 10-13 will be able to access the Wellbeing Fayre to learn more about the support available to them within school and within their local communities.

Between 3.30pm and 4.00pm, we would like to extend this invitation to any parent or carer who may wish to seek advice and support on behalf of their child or, perhaps, ask any questions in relation to their child’s wellbeing.
