At Etone College, our Wellbeing Ambassadors are passionate student leaders who promote positive mental health and wellbeing across our school community. As part of our whole-school approach to mental health, ambassadors help bring to life our core principles:
Connect – Give – Be Active – Keep Learning – Take Notice

They play a vital role in creating a supportive, inclusive environment where every student feels valued, heard, and encouraged to thrive.

What Our Ambassadors Do

Our ambassadors are actively involved in a wide range of initiatives that support both the school and wider community:

🌱 Supporting the Community

Our ambassadors take pride in giving back and promoting the value of giving:

• They created and delivered handmade “Thank a Community Carer” packages to local police and fire stations during Carers Week which is celebrated in June.
• As part of Blue Monday in January our ambassadors came up with the idea of a “Lighting Up Blue Monday” campaign, pupils delivered treats to the local fire station, spreading kindness and appreciation.
• For “Random Acts of Kindness” and Children’s Mental Health week, both celebrated in February, Wellbeing Ambassadors ran a word hunt, delivered wordsearches to form groups, and supported the Mental Health Team spread the word around boys’ mental health. Prizes were awarded to pupils who took part.

💬 Raising Mental Health Awareness

Ambassadors support and lead activities linked to key whole-school events such as:

• Children’s Mental Health Week
• Mental Health Awareness Day
• Boys’, Girls and LGBTQ Mental Health Awareness initiatives
• Leading assemblies and visiting form groups to raise awareness of key issues and promote upcoming events. 

They also organise creative activities including:

• Positive affirmation postcards for The Success Centre’s Positivitree
• 30-day stress awareness challenges to encourage healthy habits

🚶♀️ Be Active: Walk and Talk

Promoting the importance of being active, ambassadors lead Walk and Talk events during form time, where pupils walk a mile together. These sessions encourage conversation, reflection, and support positive mental wellbeing.

🧶 Peer Support & Wellbeing Activities

Ambassadors create opportunities for students to connect and take notice through:

• Crochet and creative workshops
• “Just Dance” sessions
• Take part in promoting positive mental health and wellbeing in school assemblies

These activities provide safe, relaxed environments for students to unwind and support one another.

☕ Whole-School Wellbeing Events

Ambassadors contribute to a range of wider wellbeing initiatives across the school, including:

• Brew Mondays
• Wear it Green Day
• Supporting signposting to wellbeing support within school

Part of Our Whole-School Approach

The Wellbeing Ambassadors work closely with the Etone College Mental Health Team to ensure student mental health remains a priority. Through a wide range of events, campaigns, and daily support, they help embed wellbeing into every aspect of school life.
