10 October 2026
Saturday 10th October marks World Mental Health Day, and in the week leading up to it our Enrichment team hosted a variety of tasks to commemorate the important day.
Upon arrival to college, learners were invited to write positive, feel-good messages on a whiteboard in reception, which grew into a collection of inspiring quotes. The college community came together to provide support to one another, and the results were fantastic.
Later in the day, there were a variety of mental wellbeing workshops and tutorials hosted by the Enrichment team. Designed to help students relax and unwind, it was an opportunity to focus on their mental wellbeing away from the classroom. Students were excited to get started on creating mood boards and a range of creative mindful activities.
There was also a bake sale dedicated to raising money for World Mental Health Day, featuring a selection of home-made sweet treats for staff and students to purchase. Across the Orbital South Colleges group, the bake sales raised over £50.
Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the day such a huge success.
