Steelstown Primary School, Derry

Mental Health Awareness Week

16th May 2025

This week, we’ve been shining a light on mental health and the power of community here at Steelstown.

Our pupils have taken part in outdoor learning sessions, nature walks, and group activities that remind us how much we all benefit from connection – not just with each other, but with the world around us.

Being part of a strong, caring community helps children feel safe, supported, and confident to express themselves. Whether it’s a simple chat with a friend, working as a team, or enjoying fresh air together, we’re showing our children that looking after our minds is just as important as looking after our bodies.
