Outside the Box A newsletter helping the Box Hill School community stay together, stay informed and stay happy.

“Great Minds Don’t Think Alike”

Spring is on its way… We find ourselves at the other side of half term and have now been working remotely for eight weeks. We hope that you all had a lovely rest over the half term break and that your children benefited from some downtime. This week has seen the government announce its roadmap out of lockdown. We are delighted that we will be able to return to physical School on Monday 8th March. Everyone is really looking forward to welcoming our students back on site.

Daily Wellbeing Tasks Challenge yourself to have no screen time for an hour. Go outside and enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. Write a letter to a friend or family member. Find three good things that happened today. Be attentive to the present – breathe, eat, exercise mindfully

The pastoral focus over the last half term has very much been on positive mental health both through the PSHEE programme as well as Tutor Times and Friday Assemblies. As with previous issues of Outside the Box, there continue to be a vast array of resources out there to help support children and families alike as we navigate our way through this new normal. We are ever hopeful that as the weather begins to improve that we can see a light at the end of this lockdown tunnel. For many the return to School will be very exciting news but we understand that this may also generate anxiety for some. The return to School may bring many differing emotions and it is important for children and young people to understand why they feel the way they do. We are very much here to continue to support the School community in understanding their emotions. CAMHS have produced the following to help in this area: As we move forward on through the spring and into early summer, we plan to continue to publish Outside the Box. This will mean that we will continue to highlight those things that may help you and your children to navigate our new normal and a return to a usual style of life. The following may also help those who are currently feeling a little anxious.
