P7 - Hip Psychology - Excelling with Pressure/Be Your Best

8th Nov 2023

This morning all of P7 thoroughly enjoyed our session with Carlos from Hip Psychology. Pupils were taught the importance of focusing on their own achievements and how to 'Swim their own lane'. Lots of really good examples from the world of sport were used to show the importance of deep breathing. Pupils also were guided through the importance of Self-talking to keep them going through stressful situations, Letting it go, and Carlos finished with focusing on W.I.N. - What's Important Now.

A really beneficial session for all pupils, whether they are facing SEAG assessments or moving to High School next year, along-side every-day pressures that they face.

Many thanks to Carlos for leading such a fun and interactive session and for making us all think about how we could Excel under Pressure and Be Our Best.
