Merlewood Primary breaks mental health stigma
Teachers proudly wore green ribbons to support mental health awareness.
Merlewood Primary’s Grade 2s and teachers embarked on an enriching adventure to Riverbend Crocodile farm in Ramsgate last week.
They unlocked a world of discovery and fascination with the incredible creatures that inhabit the planet.
Recently, teachers proudly wore green ribbons to support mental health awareness, showing their commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment for learners.
Principal Nthabaleng Mohlaoli said the initiative highlights the importance of recognising mental health as part of overall well-being.
“We want our learners and teachers to know it’s okay to speak up and seek help,” she said.
“As the world becomes more aware of the importance of mental health, the school stands out as a beacon of hope and support in the local community.”
Teachers also held classroom discussions to encourage learners to express their feelings and support one another.
