On Tuesday, June 20, St Mel’s Primary School hosted its inaugural ‘Mind, Body and Soul’ event for the Year 1s and 2s.

The event aimed to actively involve not only the students but also their parents and carers in promoting overall wellbeing.

In preparation for the event, all parents and carers received heartfelt handwritten notes from their children, inviting them to attend the exciting festivities the following day along with opening up the event to the community so anybody could get involved.

The event was centred around the holistic concept of wellbeing, covering various aspects of mental, physical and emotional health.

There were many engaging stalls organised and operated by the enthusiastic students themselves.

Additionally, the newly established vegetable garden became a focal point for several engaging activities held during the event.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit headed along to capture the festivities.
