Men are less likely to seek help for mental health largely due to societal expectations. This image was created by one of our S3 boys in Media and I’m sure you will agree how powerful it is. #talkingtogether #itsokaynottobeokay amazing work! @PortobelloHigh @PortyEnglish @EDIPHS

We have set our young people (and staff) a challenge for March to try to start a new habit that will benefit their mental health and wellbeing. Setting small goals makes this more achievable so we have offered some ideas to help get them started. #talkingtogether @PortobelloHigh

One of our amazing senior @PortobelloHigh Media pupils has created a poster campaign in lockdown. Here is one of her posters. So inspired by her commitment to community and to open, clear, inclusive communication. @EDIPHS #AchievingTogether #lockdownlearning

...and as for our staff? Well they have modelled the importance of #lifelonglearning! They have been prepared to take risks, try new things and find solutions. They have supported our young people and each other brilliantly. Well done and happy holidays to everyone in #TeamPorty

Our young people have really impressed us over the last 5 weeks! They’ve been #resilient, diligent & #resourceful in adapting to #onlinelearning We would MUCH rather be together in person but it has been great to connect with them online! Well done and enjoy the break!
