Well done teachers and staff. The finish line is in sight, and you’ve managed to deal with this year’s challenges with the same commitment and compassion that you always do.

But remember, it’s vital that you care for yourself too. This is how you stay well enough to be the most effective teacher possible.

Holidays aren’t a luxury, they play an essential role in giving you the time to rest and recharge between the epic sprint that is every term.

Easier said than done, we hear you say? Our evidence shows that many of you find it difficult to switch off and get the rest you need. 

This has motivated me to go to (and not cancel - as I can often do) my dance class at the gym later! Thank you!

Our speakers are here to help!
