  AT THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN AND IN THE MORNING, WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

  This year we have created a mini garden of remembrance at the front of our school with poppies made from the bases of plastic Coke bottles.

  We will mark Armistice Day on Wednesday 11th November.

  This idea was shared by Ballygowan & Carryduff Army Cadets.

  New emotional well-being service – See, Hear, Respond

  This service will work with children who may need additional support to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic, offering practical and therapeutic support. 

  It will also offer advice and guidance to any adults who are concerned about a child’s mental health and well-being. 

  The aim is to provide the immediate support that children and young people need, to help them overcome their challenges and prevent problems escalating to crisis level.

  The types of issues children and young people may need support for include:

  ·       Anxiety around Covid restrictions and lockdown

  ·       Being back at school

  ·       Concerns for health of parents/ grandparents/ family members

  ·       Help with isolation

  ·       Relationships with parents & family

  ·       Dealing with bereavement 

  You can self-refer to this service, by using the online form or by telephone (details below).
