Wellbeing Support for our Sixth Formers

At St. Cecilia’s College, we care for our students and want to ensure they are thriving academically and with their wellbeing.

We have a Wellbeing Lead in school to support the wellbeing of our post-16 students. The Wellbeing Lead promotes positive wellbeing through the delivery of a wellbeing curriculum by normalising student psychological fitness and resilience. Meet our newly appointed Wellbeing Lead Caoimhe Watson here.

Additionally, our school has created a Wellbeing Hub – a base for the Wellbeing Lead but also a welcoming, relaxing and safe place for students to go to take part in the regular workshops, group drop-in sessions or one-to-one sessions.

Workshops cover a variety of topics including mindfulness, stress management, self-care, confidence, sleep hygiene, anxiety coping skills, healthy habits, and resilience. Group drop-in sessions allows pupils to take part in activities such as guided meditation, pebble painting, mindful colouring, or games. The private one-to-one sessions offer a chance to look in depth at what is concerning the pupil in a confidential setting. It can allow them to make sense of feelings or experiences and explore options for change by providing a safe space where they will feel respected and listened to.

We are proud to have received funding for the placement of our dedicated Wellbeing Lead from mdeducational foundation – a charity dedicated to prioritising student wellbeing through education and beyond. Learn more about the charity’s mission on their website.
