For the last two years we have dedicated our first day of the school year to helping our pupils settle back in and to pastoral wellbeing. This year our Years 8, 9 and 10 held special assemblies with a young musician who manages positive mental health through musical expression.
Gigi has been tipped for huge success in the music industry in 2022. Born into a musical family (her Dad is Culture Clubs drummer) Gigi has been making music since she was 7 years old. Gigi has had her own issues with mental health / body image, especially during the pandemic, so she feels she is in the perfect position to speak to young people about these very important issues that teenagers face. Through her music she wants to help and inspire others to believe they can achieve anything. Being okay with going it alone and not oversharing every element of her life across social media is Gigi’s self-empowerment, which is relatively unheard of for a woman of her age. Our pupils really enjoyed her music and meeting her.
