Wellbeing Warriors

Stranton's Wellbeing Warriors are a group of children who all believe that the wellbeing of everyone in the school is fundamental to their happiness and good mental health. They meet on a regular basis to ensure that any concerns are highlighted as well as to discuss how they are going to promote the 5 Ways to Wellbeing which cover the following themes:
  • Connect - Talk, listen, be there, feel connected. 
  • Be Active - Do what you can, enjoy what you do, move your mood. 
  • Take Notice - Remember the simple things that give you joy. 
  • Keep Learning - Embrace new experiences, seek opportunities, surprise yourself. 
  • Give - Your time, your words, your presence.

Our Wellbeing Warriors have a special duty to fulfil within school. At break and lunch times, they ensure they are present and visible to all on the yard, this enables children to actively seek them out if they need to talk to them or simply want some quiet time.

The Wellbeing Warriors aim to:

  • Change the way we all think and act about how we feel - this is our mental health.
  • Understand and accept that we ALL have different feelings and it is okay to not be okay!
  • support others make good choices  but won't be able to solve every problem. 
  • Listen to others so that they can talk about how they are feeling.
  • Be non-judgemental

Wellbeing Warriors Events & Activities 

November

 This week, our school kicked off Anti-Bullying Week with a splash of colour and creativity for Odd Socks Day! Pupils and staff came together wearing their brightest, most mismatched socks to celebrate what makes each of us unique. 

Our Wellbeing Warriors delivered an inspiring message about kindness, inclusion and respect, reminding everyone that small acts of kindness can make a big difference in creating a safe and happy school environment.

This October, we celebrated Hello Yellow, a campaign by Young Minds that raises awareness and support for young people’s mental health.

The Wellbeing Warriors shared important messages reminding everyone that it’s okay to talk about how you feel - and that together, we can make a difference.

Throughout the week, the whole school took part in a range of wellbeing activities, including ‘Wear it Yellow Day’ and a variety of growth mindset challenges that encouraged positivity, resilience and kindness.
