On Friday 14^th February, the Achieve and Learn Trust brought all staff together to enjoy a Wellbeing Day at Reddish Vale High School. The theme was around taking responsibility for your own wellbeing, fitting your own oxygen mask first before helping others.

Staff were able to take part in three workshops throughout the day to learn more about improving their health and wellbeing. Workshops varied from better sleeping habits (Manchester Mind) to Samatha meditation!

There was also a surprise keynote speaker, TV personality Mark Wright, who spoke about his fitness journey and how this has improved his own wellbeing.

Along with the wellbeing sessions, there was a chance for departments to come together across both schools, which was a great networking opportunity to support their day jobs at their respective schools.

Comments from Trust staff include:

• "A really lovely day. Felt great at the end."
• "I really enjoyed the yoga!"
• "A fantastic day! Really well-needed and loved meeting other staff."
• "The sleep workshop was really good, very informative."
• "It was great to get together as a Trust and have tips to take home in order to improve wellbeing."
