EMOTIONAL WELLBEING TEAMS IN SCHOOLS

St. Mary’s Grammar School, Magherafelt is delighted to be part of the Emotional Wellbeing Teams in Schools programme this year. 

This programme has been developed as part of the implementation of the Children and Young People’s Emotional Health and Wellbeing in Education Framework.

Following a presentation to staff in August 2024, the school’s dedicated Wellbeing Practitioner, Nicola Brennan, began delivery of the ‘Dealing with Feelings’ programme with Year 8 pupils on Wednesday 9 October 2024.  This programme discusses the topic of mental and emotional wellbeing, understanding emotions, the teenage brain and self-regulation.  It is intended to provide pupils with the opportunity to better understand and care for their physical and emotional wellbeing.  The ‘Dealing with Feelings’ presentation will be delivered across the school throughout the first term.
