Raising Awareness for Mental Health: Assemblies Highlight Support Services for Students

In recognition of World Mental Health Day, which falls on October 10th, students across Years 7 to 10 at Highams Park School participated in a series of special assemblies designed to promote mental health awareness. This week, the school welcomed external colleagues from the Mental Health Support Team (MHST), who delivered informative sessions focusing on the importance of mental well-being and available support systems.
