We hope our colleagues in schools managed their first day ‘back’ at work after the break. It’s a unique experience to return without the usual separation of home & work.
Now is a good time to think about what we can and can’t control, and what to focus on when we feel this way.
We understand that uncertainty can make lots of our children and young people anxious. It’s uncertain and anxiety provoking for adults too. This visual might help support some of the discussions going on around

Is it just us, or does every else see NURTURE when you see this mural?
Not that we are biased...😏
Wow! Look out for this at the corner of High Street and George Street, this companion piece to the existing St Mungo mural on High St is nearly complete. It shows St Enoch and her son St Mungo as a child, in a similar modern setting. Both artworks by street artist Smug.
