Mental Health Presentations by the Student Leadership Team

Last week our Student Leadership Team went into classrooms and presented to individual Gr. 3, 4, 5 and 6 classes on topical mental health issues in those grades.  On top of making announcements every Monday on breaking myths around Mental Health, these students researched and created their own presentations on topics such as The Importance of Positive Relationships, and How to Deal with Stress and Anxiety.

They then organized presentations with classroom teachers and presented to students.  The point was made that they were not experts, but wanted to share their learning around mental health and the ways to cope with the daily stresses and anxiety brought about in everyday life.

The leadership shown by this group was truly amazing!  Thanks to Ms. Rawji and Ms. Antoniou for helping to organize and focus the Leadership Team in their presentations.  And special thanks to the Leadership Team members, who worked above and beyond their course work to help educate their peers, and make Charlton a better place to be.
