Positive Me Programme

Year 7 pupils completed “Positive Me” – a course delivered by Bogside and Brandywell Health Forum and funded through Extended Schools.  The programme, accredited by ONC, provided an introduction to Mental Health, Wellbeing and Resilience. Nineteen Year 7 pupils attended a weekly hour session that ran for 12 weeks. There were classes in gardening, cooking and well-being. It enabled the pupils to understand the functions of food, the growing process for produce and their link to mental health, wellbeing and resilience. The pupils also participated in an enrichment activity to promote personal well-being.
