I ran my first school assembly in May of 2022, for years 7 and 8, and again in September to welcome the new year 7 students. The main theme of these assemblies was promoting the benefits of kindness and positivity, and how it can benefit your mental health. I believe in the quote 'Be Good, Do Good, Feel Good'. It really does work, and has a positive effect on your wellbeing.

 

I also used the assemblies to promote the BYC club and highlight that the school has anti-bullying ambassadors. I was careful to keep the tone light and cheery so it wouldn't sound like a lesson or PHSE topic. Assemblies for me were the most efficient way to give a lot of information in a short amount of time rather than just rely on students reading notices and seeing posters on the walls.

​

Since then, I have run confidence building workshops in my local area, such as one on behalf of the Stamford Diversity Group on the 3rd of August, in Christ Church Stamford. (see below)
