Wellbeing week at girls’ school

QUEEN Anne’s School in Caversham celebrated Wellbeing Week with a series of activities and workshops aimed at promoting mental health and self-care among its girls.

Activities included a session led by local author Mali Baker, who read from her book, River Baker and the Warriors of RALA.

The story features a young heroine who navigates difficult decisions with courage and resilience.

There was also a wellness walk for lower fifth students organised in collaboration with Sport in Mind, a charity that emphasises the mental health benefits of physical activity.

Bernadette Russell, author of How to be Hopeful, delivered a talk on the power of kindness.

A highlight of the week was the “gratitude tea party”, organised by the school’s wellbeing prefect Beth James and the lower sixth students.

This event was a gesture of appreciation for the staff for their support and encouragement throughout the academic year.
