National Mental Health Day at Alde Valley Academy


ON October 10th every year comes a time of great change in the world of mental health, with more people coming forward and openly discussing the once- shunned illnesses that affects so many of us. This year’s theme for World Mental Health day is young people and mental health in a changing world. The early years of adulthood


are a time of life when many changes occur. For example; changing schools, exams, college, starting university or even finding a new job. For many, these can be exciting times. They can also be times of stress. In some cases these overwhelming feelings can lead to a mental illness. Some mental illnesses can occur at a young age; fortunately there is a growing recognition of the importance of helping young people build mental resilience,


from the earliest stages, in order to cope with the challenges they may face in today’s world. Alde Valley Academy takes


the wellbeing of students very seriously. They have dedicated Learning Support Managers who have strong links with professional


organisations


which can offer specialist help and assistance. On October 9th Mrs Mayhew-


Head of Physical Education, invited the company ‘One Life Suffolk’ in to Alde Valley Academy to meet with their enthusiastic Year 8 students to develop their understanding of mental health. It was a delight for Alde Valley to welcome Helen Rose-Clark who is part of the One Life team who has helped many local peoples lives become healthier and happier. Helen successfully engaged the class by discussing the


sources of mental health problems; she gave real life scenarios, examples of the different types of mental illnesses, possible causes and who the students can speak to for any support on mental health. To further the students understanding they worked in groups to make posters on what they thought may cause mental health problems and also what they think they could do to prevent it. One student commented “I now know what help is available”, another student added “This has definitely opened up my understanding on mental health”. Mrs Mayhew said “Working together with students and parents we can try to tackle mental health together”.


Alde Valley Academy Art Exhibition


ALL year 10 and 11 Art & Design GCSE students at Alde Valley Academy exhibited their work in a show called ‘Surprise’ at the George Farnham Gallery in Saxmundham in October. All the students had been working hard towards the exhibition since the beginning of term and everyone had at


least one piece of work in the show. The pieces the students made were professionally mounted and displayed and it was very well received by the general public who came to see the exhibition, with very complimentary and appreciative comments left in the visitors book in the gallery. This is the second time


George Farnham gallery have so kindly given their premises to the students for a two week show to really help and encourage the students. We hope this will become an annual event! Mr Hanger, Alde Valley Academy’s Art Teacher would like to congratulate all the students for their hard work and commitment and he would like to thank George Farnham gallery for this wonderful opportunity.
