We are delighted to share that 13 of our Year 12 students at Ivybridge Community College have successfully completed their training with the NHS Mental Health Support in Schools team to become Anti-Bullying and Mental Health Ambassadors.
This initiative was introduced by Matt Anniss, Designated Safeguarding Lead, as part of our ongoing commitment to promoting wellbeing and creating a safe, supportive environment for all students.
When asked why they wanted to take on this important role, some of their inspiring responses included...
“I believe everyone deserves to feel safe and respected at school.” |
--------
“To be a positive role model and help people to feel safe and supported.” |
--------
“To give back, and offer similar support to others that I received at ICC.” |
--------
“To support people and help make someone’s day better and make a difference within the school.” |
We are extremely proud of these students for their dedication and compassion.
As ambassadors, they will begin mentoring some of our students during break times, either on a one-to-one basis or in our Wellbeing Café space, helping to create a more inclusive and supportive school community.
The Anti-Bullying and Mental Health Ambassador program empowers students to take an active role in creating a safe and supportive environment.
By mentoring peers and promoting our Telling Culture and positive mental health, these ambassadors help reduce stigma, encourage kindness, and ensure every student feels valued.
