This Thursday is World Mental Health Day but the school is celebrating it on Friday instead by having a Yellow Day in the high school. Pupils and staff can come in wearing anything yellow, subtle or not so subtle if they wish and pay £1. If not wearing yellow, pupils should wear normal uniform. There will be a brief assembly on Friday morning where some/all of our Pupil Council will do a short presentation on why we are wearing yellow and why World Mental Health Day is important.
