Yesterday, our community continued its Movember initiative with an inspiring Chapel talk from OG Joe Nash, who courageously opened up about his own mental health journey.

Joe has been a remarkable advocate for men’s health. Last year, he became Movember’s highest fundraiser out of 23,000 students and was nominated in the organisation’s international awards for “Changing the Face of Men’s Health.” During that time, he ran 5k every day throughout November, sharing his reflections, along with contributions from around 30 others, on his dedicated Instagram page

Joe’s message resonated with pupils, as he encouraged everyone to seek support when they need it and to strive to be someone others can confide in. He also urged listeners to live life fully and authentically, without the fear of judgment and to always choose kindness, reminding his listeners that all that unkind words can have a profound negative impact.

We are grateful to Joe for returning to share his story and for helping to strengthen the culture of openness, empathy and support within our school community.
