Our winning poem for Mental Health Awareness Week 2021 has been chosen.
This week is Mental Health Awareness Week 2021. Student and staff wellbeing is important to us at Rutlish School, especially after a challenging year for us all.
Update: 19 May 2021
Last week we announced our student poetry competition and we had some wonderful entries. The winning haiku poem was from 10A:
Being vulnerable
You can be great and flawed too
You are a human
You can be great and flawed too
You are a human
Some of the other entires included:
Precious is your mood
Mental health is valuable
Look after yourself
Life confuses me
Wishing I could disappear
People surround me
People say I'm fine
Underneath my shell I’m sad
Weeping tears of fear
Stress and depression
It attacks you and your brain
You can overcome!
Rain on my window
is the only peace I find.
White noise on my mind.
Words can’t show this
feeling in my heart
so I say, “I’m fine.”
