COLLEGE CAPTAINS' MESSAGE
As we’re all going through these challenging times, it’s important to stay healthy and take care of ourselves, especially our mental health. The separation that we’ve all experienced is not an easy one and we should not let these difficult circumstances control our lives negatively.
We must stay active, exercise, meditate, eat well and maintain our routine. It’s also extremely important to talk about our feelings, communicate and reach out to someone if we’re not feeling great. This is a tough time, so it’s normal to feel down, demotivated or anxious sometimes. But remember that it’s temporary and it’ll be over soon.
The new online learning system helps students stay connected and engaged throughout the day. Teachers, students and staff are all working together to cope with this situation and provide support to others.
This lockdown is definitely something we’ve never experienced before. However, if we look at the bright side of things, it could also be an opportunity to explore ourselves, learn new things, and realise how lucky we are to be safe and alive.
Hopefully, we will get through this and look back on it as a memory or even a lesson in life.
