Outside the Box A newsletter helping the Box Hill School community stay together, stay informed and stay happy.
“Great Minds Don’t Think Alike”
The start of the Spring Term Welcome back! Outside the Box was started during the first national lockdown last year as a way for the Box Hill School community to stay connected while we were apart. Now that we find ourselves in lockdown once more, we have returned to help keep our community strong.
Daily Wellbeing Tasks Take time today to be with family/friends – dinner or Zoom meeting. Do something active – it does not matter what. Get the heart pumping. Start learning a new skill! Give something to someone else. Be attentive to the present – breathe, eat, exercise mindfully
While the Christmas break may have looked a little different to what was originally planned, we hope that you did all have a good break. Despite the challenging circumstances, we hope that you had a rest, had some fun and caught up with friends and family on the array of technology we are all now so used to using. Despite expecting a physical return to school, staff and pupils alike, have readily adapted to remote learning once more. Alongside the virtual lessons this term, activities are continuing, as well as tutor periods, registrations, virtual break times and competitions. We are still very much the School community, just in the cloud! This means that all of the usual pastoral structures remain in place; your child is very much at the very centre of everything we do. The School, as a community, will do all that we can to ensure the wellbeing of those in our care. As the saying goes, ‘it takes a village to raise a child’. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us if support is needed.
