Wellbeing Ambassadors

Our Wellbeing Ambassadors do exactly as it says: promote the positive wellbeing of each and every child at Hiltingbury. Working closely with Mr Wright, our Senior Mental Health Leader, they meet regularly to discuss ways to help support the positive wellbeing of their peers.  Each Wellbeing Ambassador is reliable, trustworthy, open and honest.

The role of the Wellbeing Ambassadors includes:

  • To promote positive mental health and wellbeing.
  • To attend regular meetings with Mr Wright to talk about the well-being of the children.
  • To monitor their class’s Listening Box to ensure worries and concerns are addressed.
  • To encourage other children to talk and share their feelings, and concerns.
  • To be someone who can listen, support and ask for help for their peers.
  • To support fellow pupils at break and lunchtimes who may be sad, worried or upset.
  • To lead themed weeks, assemblies and/or projects related to mental health and wellbeing e.g. Honesty Day and Time to Talk Day.

 

The Wellbeing Ambassadors are a key part of the Pupil Voice at Hiltingbury, providing a listening ear and shoulder of support to their peers. Sometimes we all need that someone to talk to.

Working in partnership with the class teacher and the Pastoral Team, the Wellbeing Ambassadors are integral to ensuring the positive wellbeing of all children through open and honest communication. Recently, the theme of self-confidence was highlighted as an area that children across the school needed support with; subsequently, themed assemblies and projects have been put in place to support with this.
