Last week, we ran our annual Salus event, which encouraged girls to reflect on various aspects of their own wellbeing and self-care. Our Lower Sixth Salus Committee worked together to organise various events during the course of the week. The theme of the week was resilience and, with a large number of girls involved in the Senior Production, the cast and crew certainly needed to show how resilient they were! We had live music from students and staff in the Entrance Hall in the mornings whilst colouring and Jenga were on offer every lunchtime. To emphasise the principle of ‘bouncing back’, all girls were given a bouncy ball, to keep them entertained during breaks within the day. Other opportunities included: movies and comedy programmes in the Lecture Theatre, Board Games, a Knitting workshop, Smoothie making, Cross Country Lite, a talk from a Sixth Former about overcoming stage fright, as well as an Assault Course activity. On Friday, the Thirds ran a Samosa stall at lunchtime in support of the charity, Lepra and we were also joined by a representative from the Salus Foundation, who offered Indian Head Massage sessions to staff. Thank you to all staff and girls for making the week such a success.

An exploration of Ancient Greece

From the very first day to the last, we found ourselves entirely submerged in both modern and ancient Greek culture, from participating in a couple of chaotic dances to being taught (and quizzed) on different objects we hunted for in the museums.
