Today, pupils at Dawn House School took part in a special Mindful Moments house event organised by our fantastic Wellbeing Team. In their eight house groups, pupils rotated through a range of calming, reflective, and enjoyable activities designed to support positive mental health, encourage mindfulness, and promote emotional well-being.

The morning was filled with peaceful energy and thoughtful engagement as students explored activities including:

• Meeting the Alpacas – Gentle therapy animals brought lots of smiles and a sense of calm.
• Rounds – A chance to talk, listen, and reflect in a supportive circle.
• Zen Station – A quiet, sensory area for deep breathing, mindfulness, and peace.
• Gaming Station – Friendly, relaxed fun with peers through cooperative digital games.
• Origami Station – Focused creativity with paper folding to encourage presence and patience.

It was fantastic to see all students embracing the opportunity to slow down, connect with their peers, and explore different ways to look after their mental well-being.

A huge well done to everyone who took part, and a heartfelt thank you to our Wellbeing Team for planning and delivering such a meaningful and enriching event.
