  • February 2020 Newsletter
    BlackrockNewsFeb2020 14/02/2020 16:19 Page 1 BLACKROCK COLLEGE NEWSLETTER February 2020 Dear Parents, The recently published “My World Survey 2” (MWS2), the national study of Youth Mental Health,reports that the number of young people drinking alcohol, being bullied in school and stressing about finances has dropped when compared to the findings in MWS1 (2012). It also reports that teenagers are now more likely to talk to their parents or ‘a special adult’, be it another relative, family friend or school counsellor about their mental health. Family, friends, school connectedness and attendance, physical activity and aspects of social media are confirmed as contributors to positive mental health and wellbeing. On the debit side, it is a concern that the levels of ‘protective factors’ related to mental health such as self-esteem, optimism and resilience have decreased. This is an excellent piece of research. However, it is a pity that it does not report on the positive influence that faith, the nurturing of the spirit, has on wellbeing. The recent Catholic Schools’ Week,“Living in Harmony with God’s Creation” challenged us to live in harmony with God, our Neighbours, all generations, with the earth and in our school. The emphasis is on harmony. “When you find peace within yourself, you can become the kind of person who can live at peace with others”. (Peace Pilgrim, Mildred Norman). In other words, in order to look outwards, we must first look inwards. Self-esteem, optimism and resilience will develop if we put before the boys a pathway to a purposeful and meaningful life through Gospel values.
