STUDENT WELLBEING

STARTING THE DAY WITH #METIME

Every school day starts with #METime (morning enrichment), which is centred around your child’s growth and wellbeing. Between 7:30 and 8:15 am, before lessons begin, students have the option to either take part in activities that energise and excite them for the day ahead, have a nutritious breakfast with friends, or stay at home and sleep a little bit longer.
