Children’s Mental Health Week 2026 is an important opportunity to highlight the wellbeing of young people and to encourage everyone in our school community to think about how we can support children’s emotional development. The week focuses on helping pupils understand their feelings, build resilience, and learn strategies for positive mental health through supportive activities and conversations. We will celebrate Children’s Mental Health Week during the first week back after midterm, beginning 16th February, with events and classroom activities designed to promote confidence, kindness, and connection. It will be a chance for us all to come together, reflect on the importance of mental wellbeing, and give children the tools they need to thrive.
We are delighted to celebrate Catholic Schools Week 2026, a special time to honor the faith-filled mission and vibrant community that make our school so unique. This year’s theme, “Normal Live Called to Holiness,” reminds us that each of us—through our everyday actions, learning, and relationships—is invited to grow in holiness and live out our faith with purpose. Throughout the week, we look forward to celebrating all that makes our school a place of learning, service, and spiritual growth.
As we begin the second term at St. Mary’s on the Hill P.S., we are filled with excitement for the learning, growth, and adventure that await our students. This next chapter brings fresh opportunities to explore new ideas, strengthen friendships, and celebrate the joy of learning together. We look forward to building on the wonderful progress already made and embracing the fun, challenges, and discoveries that make our school community such a vibrant and inspiring place.
