Autism Awareness Month

Autism Awareness Month April is Autism Awareness Month...Let’s continue our efforts to spread awareness, promote acceptance, and ignite change. A message from Ms Cynthia Rizzo and Ms Maria Ellul, CHS and SMC Inclusive Coordinators (INCO): Autism is a lifelong, developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people, and how they experience the world around them. Their quality of life improves with professional assistance but also with the support of each and every one of us. The first phase is to be aware, understand and accept people with autism. Following this, one can also help with a smile and a helping hand.

Spots of Time

Spots of Time A wonderful initiative named Spots of Time has been set up by our Well-Being Team at St Martin’s College. This is what the team said: We hope that you are all well despite the challenges and difficulties that we are all facing at the moment. As the Well-Being Team at St Martin’s College, we are aware that each of you is going through your own struggles in different ways and we want to be available to support you as best as we can, even for the smallest of issues you might be encountering and wish to share. We have therefore decided to set up an initiative called Spots of Time in which our counsellors, together with other members from the well-being team are going to be available for one-to-one sessions via video calling, phone call, text or email, as the person prefers. This will allow everyone to interact in the way they feel most comfortable. During these 30 minute sessions, we will offer guidance, support and coaching to those of you who wish to make use of this service. Well done to the team! ❤️
