Grangemouth High School - The Lighthouse

Lovely to welcome our pupils back after the October break & hear their news 😃 Getting back into routines can be tricky, so we’re taking it a step at a time. Our Support Spaces are here for a catch-up, a bit of reassurance & help settling back into the school day 💛🖤

💛 This October break, we’re reminding our school community to rest, recharge & make time for self-care. Our Sway has ideas to try over the holidays & carry into everyday life. #SelfCareIsNotSelfish #RefillYourBattery sway.cloud.microsoft/gzPSu3ORRodU...

In our ASN spaces & classrooms, we talk with pupils about taking a pause when emotions feel big. 💜 The STOP skill helps us practise stepping back, noticing how we feel & choosing what to do next. A small pause can make a big difference.

Here is a great reminder to us all on a Monday morning. Remember we can feel one emotion & act like another one. It’s ok. All behaviour is communication. #mondaymotivation #thoughtsandfeelings #communication

Some days, getting through the school doors is the big achievement. Other days, it’s asking for help, joining in or giving something another go. Whatever progress looks like for you today, we see it & we’re proud of you 💛🖤

We’ve made it to the end of the week! 😃 If it’s been a busy one, take a breath & give yourself credit for getting through it. A wee Friday reminder: speak kindly to yourself, take time to recharge & remember that you are important. You are always enough. 💛🖤

A wee reminder that you’re only human. You are going to experience high & lows. Just remember nothing is permanent. Try to learn to live in the moment & let your feelings & emotions pass through. They are only visiting. #feelings #emotions #selfgrowth

Happy weekend everyone. Be with friends. Be with family. Be relaxed. Be rested. Be happy 💛🖤

This is something we talk though with pupils often. A panic attack can feel terrifying.Your heart races, breathing changes & fear feeds the symptoms. Pause, breathe slowly, name what’s happening & focus on the next few minutes. Panic passes. You are not failing—your body’s alarm is in overdrive.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. There is always someone ready to listen & support you. Please reach out to someone you trust or use one of these helpful support services. You matter 💙 #SuicideAwarenessDay

Celebrating in The Harbour! Pupils have been volunteering their time, ideas & creativity to improve the visual environment around school, helping to make information clearer, more engaging & accessible for all learners. 💛🖤

Waking up anxious can feel like your body has started the day in an emergency. Pause, breathe out slowly & focus on one small step—you don’t need to solve the whole day at once. An anxious morning doesn’t mean the whole day is ruined. Be gentle with yourself. 💛

Good morning everyone 👋. Hope you all have a great day! Remember if things become too much, try to break things down into smaller manageable chunks, & that we are here for you if you need to talk😁☺ #positivevibes

🍂 Hello September 🍂 A new month can bring fresh starts, but it can also feel challenging. 💛 Our Support Spaces are here to help our young people feel cared for & supported as we build Respect, Resilience, Responsibility & Ambition together. 💛🖤 One day at a time. 🥰

And just like that… we’ve made it to the weekend! 🙌It’s been one of those weeks where Friday felt a long way away! Now for a couple of days to switch off, recharge, enjoy the little things & reset before we do it all again on Monday! 💛🖤

It was lovely to welcome back & see all our wonderful pupils today, especially to all of our new S1 pupils. The first day flew by & it was so nice to hear the corridors once again bustling with all our pupils!

🙋Morning everyone. Here is some Monday Motivation for you all. Have a positive day out there. #MondayMotivation #BeKind #PositiveVibes #MentalHealthMatters

Father’s Day can bring many emotions. 💙 For some it’s a day of celebration, while for others it may bring grief, loss or sadness. Whatever today means for you, it’s okay to feel how you feel. Be kind to yourself & remember you don’t have to face those feelings alone. 💙

As we head into the final few weeks of school, it’s normal to feel tired or overwhelmed. 💛 If you need this reminder today….. 💛 Be kind to yourself 💜 Reach out if you need support 💙 Take time to recharge ❤️ Self-care isn’t selfish #TakeCareOfYourself

🤩 There really are no words! Mrs Brown, Mrs Edwards & Mrs Scott have just watched one of the most spectacular school shows we’ve ever seen. Watching our young people shine with confidence & find where they belong was so special. We couldn’t be prouder. Not a dry eye between us! 🥹✨

Change isn’t always easy. As pupils settle into new timetables today, it’s important to remember that feeling nervous or uncertain is completely normal. Talking about worries can help make new routines feel more manageable. 💜 #MentalWellbeing #ReadyToLearn #YouveGotThis

We all can get overwhelmed at times. “Stuff” happens that we don’t expect. Take a pause, reflect,make a change,breathe & then take control. 💛🖤

☀️ The sun is shining today — so get outside for some fresh air when you can. Whether it’s at break, lunchtime or after school, a little daylight can help boost mood, focus & energy levels, leaving you feeling more refreshed 🌤️😌

New week. New mindset. ✨ Walk in with confidence, kindness, and the courage to keep going 💙 #MondayMotivation #NewWeek #PositiveVibes

School can get busy, so don’t forget to pause and breathe. 💜 Taking a few slow, deep breaths can help calm stress, clear your mind, and reset your focus. Inhale slowly, exhale gently, and give yourself a moment to recharge. You’ve got this!

You can feel lost and still be finding your way. You can be exhausted and still be resilient. Healing comes in waves, not straight lines. Be gentle with yourself on the days your strength feels quieter than usual.
