Diversity and Mental Health Message
On Thursday, the singer and songwriter, Irini Mando, gave a performance to students in years 5-8.
After the performance, she discussed mental health, the causes of mental health problems, who to turn to for help and the importance of speaking up. She talked about mental health to body image which has become a real issue for the younger generation linked to social media. She also discussed the importance of treating each other fairly, why diversity should be celebrated, what to do if you're being discriminated against and why it is wrong to discriminate against other people. The boys really enjoyed the experience and asked lots of questions.
