‘Where To Turn’ is an initiative of Causeway Coast and Glens Anti-Poverty Stakeholder Steering Group. The Steering Group is made up of foodbanks, advice centres, charities and relevant statutory organisations and was set up by Council during the pandemic to connect services and ensure a whole person approach to supporting people experiencing financial difficulty.

Today we celebrated anti-bullying week in school by wearing odd socks. In assembly, we looked at this year’s theme of 'Make A Noise About Bullying'. We also did some scenarios and considered what to do if you feel you are being bullied.

On Friday we welcomed the Belfast Wren Boys to school. They performed some songs and drama and told us all about the history of the Wren Boys in Ireland. 

We held our second wellbeing day of the year on Monday 6^th November. During the day, pupils continued to learn about what wellbeing is and the importance of mental health. We held several workshops including music, yoga and started to create our ‘wellbeing wall’. This is something we will develop as the year progresses. 

We had lots of fun this week celebrating Halloween. 

Today, we had a visit from local author Liz Weir and Masako Carey. She told the pupils stories and they learnt about what makes a good story teller. 

On Friday 6th October, we had Kirsty and Charlie visit from the project. They were here to update us on the progress of the project and present the winners of the photography competition.
