Mental Health & Wellbeing Awareness Days
As a school, we recognise that mental health awareness days provide us with a good opportunity to talk about mental health and promote positive wellbeing amongst students, staff, parents/carers and the local community.
World Mental Health Day - 10th October 2024
Our school community came together on World Mental Health Day with a week full of awareness and activities for students and staff.
MOVEMBER - November 2024
It's November! Can we MOtivate you to join our #Movember team?
Guilsborough Academy Sixth Form are building a community to raise money and awareness for Men’s Health through Movember. You’ve heard of the iconic moustaches some grow during this time… BUT did you know there are many other ways to get involved?
Whether or not you can grow a moustache, whether you’re up for walking/running 60km or hosting an event, there’s a way for everyone to make an impact! Together, we can raise funds and awareness for this great cause.
