October marks World Mental Health Awareness Month

Free Online Matric Support Group Meeting

Each week, we’ll cover a range of topics related to the exam period, from effective study techniques to coping with exam-day nerves. Our sessions are designed not just to help learners perform at their best but to remind them that their well-being is just as important as their academic success. We want Matrics to know that they are valued for more than just the marks they achieve and that no exam can define their worth or future potential.

By joining our Matric Support Group, learners can gain valuable insights, reduce their anxiety, and feel empowered to tackle their exams with confidence. Our supportive community is here to remind them that, no matter the outcome, they are loved, accepted, and capable of achieving great things in life. Let’s face this exam season together, with resilience and hope. To register for our next free Matric Support Group Meeting on Wednesday at 6pm click here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEkf--prjsrGdFOniC6ZhCzsjr2adWha3Fq#/registration
