Secondary School Non-Uniform Day - Friday 18 November - Mental Health Awareness Ro Xzi, Izzy and Serene Grade 8 .............................................................................................. Our MYP Community Project group is focusing on mental health in teenagers. We want to raise awareness about mental health and about why it is so important. As part of our project, we are organising a non-uniform day on Friday 18th
November for Secondary School students. The colours that are to be worn on that day are blue, teal (green) and purple. These colours represent depression, general anxiety disorder, and eating disorders. Secondary school students will wear these colours to raise awareness around the school about these specific teenage mental health issues. We want to raise awareness about this serious topic because these disorders are commonly found in secondary schools around the world.
