Good Mental Health in the Library

Apart from reading and research, the library is often a place for quiet reflection. Many of the students see the LRC as a safe haven away from the hustle and bustle of the playground. Sometimes a sanctuary for those with friendship issues.

Last year I attended a seminar entitled Good Mental Health – Let’s Get Talking where we were encouraged to debate the issues around mental health and provide support for students’ well-being in the LRC

Following the seminar, I designated an area of the LRC as a ‘chill-out’ zone for students requiring sanctuary thus widening the choice of space and option of therapy. As a school, we already cater for vulnerable students with outstanding pastoral care in the Pastoral Block, in Learning Support, with the Health and Welfare Officer  and in the Inclusion Room.

Now pastoral staff can book the LRC for these students to do their school work as well as enjoy ‘time-out’ with the jigsaw puzzles, drawing, and colouring provided. Books are also available to read covering all areas of mental health and teenage concerns in our ‘Shelf Help’ display area.

Many congratulations to The Wavell Literacy team Alicia, Breanna, Kaitlyn and Aidan who participated in the Hampshire School Library Service Literature Final held at the Discovery Centre, Winchester during the evening of Wednesday 27th March 2019. They competed against more than 30 Hampshire schools in this prestigious award where Thornden School reigned supreme for the second year running. The audience of parents and librarians helped to make the evening a memorable one, even competing in their own quiz.
