Hello Yellow Day

Hello Yellow Day is a day dedicated to mental health awareness. It helps educate people about mental health, where to get help if they need it and how to relate to others who may suffer from a mental health problem.

The wellbeing team in each year group have been very busy creating ideas to make this day a special day here at Winston. Here are some of their ideas and activities planned - we'd love you to take part:
Poster competition - already completed and posters are up around the school. The winner will be announced on Friday 9th;
Tutor group bunting activity - this should already be in your tutor wallets. Please encourage your tutees to write a kind supportive message on these and display them in your tutor rooms;
Yellow badges will be made available on Friday;
A wellbeing booklet has been created by the senior wellbeing team. Please use any of the activities during tutor time and then on Friday, students can take them home. The winning poster is featured as the cover.
The wellbeing leaders and staff may wear an item of yellow clothing on Friday
Individual wellbeing teams are making a short film to introduce themselves to their year group
Year 7 - are wearing selling yellow wrist bands (wellbeing leader Mrs Kovic)
Year 8 - 'Humans of Winston' item (Miss Wade)
Year 9 - challenge cards -5 wellbeing challenges to complete on the day (Mrs Armstrong)
Year 10 - planting seeds/bulbs of yellow flowers to bloom each season (Mrs Alexander)
