This is something that the busy #schoolleaders I work with can sometimes forget to do.

Don't forget to celebrate all you have achieved.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay and while it's important to mark this, what is equally important is what happens tomorrow, next week and every month before next year's event. Every day should be #WorldMentalHealthDay

[Action for Happiness @actionhappiness]

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay so let’s do all we can to support others by checking in and really listening to them. Let’s also remember to reach out for help when we’re struggling too #WMHD2024

@darcyprior @NetSupportGroup @K_Cauchi It gave me lots to ponder and a renewed motivation to work on and improve my digital character! So thank you!

[Jen Swift @JenSwift15]

Loved reading about the concept of digital character by @darcyprior in the latest edition of https://t.co/aGLyJsT14c.

As with many things in education we need to start with work on ourselves first.

A recommended read.

@K_Cauchi Beautiful performance and a great choice of song - well done @K_Cauchi

[Jen Swift @JenSwift15]

What a great start to my reading journey through https://t.co/esdEu4kuqX. The article on #empathy by @Miss_K_Sunray3 is a powerful and moving read with some great practical ideas and links. I highly recommend you check it out.

#Schoolleadership can feel hypercomplex with the constant rush to keep up.

⏳ Quick decisions often lead to more work and less satisfaction.

🌪️ Instead, a moment to pause and reflect can provide deeper insights and clarity.
