Wellbeing for Learning

Welcome to Self-care September!

As we step into this month of Spring, let’s embrace the importance of being kind to ourselves. Taking care of our own wellbeing helps us respond positively to life’s challenges and treat others with kindness too.

Please see the Self-Care September calendar, filled with inspiring actions to help you prioritise self-kindness. Please share it with students, family, and friends—let’s spread the message of self-care far and wide.

Mindful Moment: Try this now self-love meditation to cultivate compassion and inner peace.

Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. So, let's make time to care for ourselves this month so we can then show up more for others too.

Extra-curricular Activities at CRC St Albans

Participating in extracurricular activities in secondary schools is important for students to grow both academically and personally. These activities offer students the opportunity to develop a range of skills, including leadership, teamwork, time management, and communication, which are essential for success in the future.

Extracurricular activities also provide students with a sense of belonging and the chance to pursue their passions and interests outside of the classroom. These experiences can lead to meaningful relationships, new perspectives, and opportunities for personal growth. Extracurricular activities are a central aspect of CRC St Albans education that provides students with a well-rounded experience, helping them to develop their full potential and achieve their goals.

Students who engage in extra-curricular activities will be recognised with a commendation and points will be allocated towards McAuley Award.

We have a vast range of activities for students to participate in during lunch-time or after-school. If you would like further information, please do not hesitate to speak to the supervising teacher identified below or check our daily bulletin for further information.
