Movember 2020: In Lockdown 2020 Exercise was the Only Thing Left

Story

Last year we ran a successful Movember campaign and for the whole month had a great deal of activities for the staff and students to be involved in. This year we feel it can be even bigger, in spite of the restrictions in place. It is more important than ever to focus in on the fact that throughout lockdown 'Exercise was the only thing left.' It was the only thing we were sanctioned by the government to be allowed to do. This is because it is vital for our mental health. We have already seen the release and the relief from the students to be able to get back to their sports and teams and all the social and emotional connections and joy that it brings. We feel that in a wider sense across the whole school itself, it is just great to be back. With this in mind this years Movember will be shaped to create more spirit in the High School by piloting a house system whilst focusing more upon the link between physical and mental health. The houses are the elements: Fire, Water, Earth and A

When ACS International Schools started in 1967, so did our commitment to provide high quality international education and to positively impact the communities we serve. Over 50 years on, while trends in education come and go, our founding principles remain. They’re at the heart of everything we do. In 2018, we became a UK-registered charity and ACS International Schools In America Inc. a 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation, was established in the US. ACS has already invested over £1m in means-tested bursary places, providing opportunities for students to benefit from an ACS education and, in turn, enriching our community. In our next 2020-21 academic year, over 40 students will benefit from bursary places. In addition to the significant sums we already commit, we also invest in campus facilities to enhance our students’ learning and support for teaching excellence.
