Winners of the NHS "Uplifting Image" digital art competition - AGAIN!

Sacred Heart pupils have done it again and won the NHS "Uplifting Image" digital art competition which was organised to commemorate Mental Health Day.

Elm Class participated in a mental health workshop focusing on the power of words. Elm class discussed how our words have the power to hurt, support and show love to others. Students recognised that they had the tools (their words) to support themselves and others and identified a range of people who they thought they could talk to if they had anyworries. During a KS2 Assembly, Elm class shared what they learnt from the workshop and explained how they hoped to spread the message of#letstalkaboutit by entering a digital art competition.

"Following our workshop on the power of talking, we decided to enter the'Uplifting Image' digital art competition, for the NHS, called #letstalkaboutit. We decided that our photo would reflect the importance of talking and supporting one another in the community. We made paper-can telephones, that reflected our personality, and then linked them all together using string. We then took the photo in the playground".

The image won the competition and today Gabriella and Kester went to receive the award.
