World Kindness Day

by knockskeaghadmin | Nov 12, 2025 | amber flag, News

World Kindness Day

“In a world where you can be anything, be kind”

Tomorrow is World Kindness Day and today our Wellbeing team informed each class of the benefits of being kind to each other on a daily basis.

Encouraging kindness can help promote health, happiness, success and helps to create a less stressful environment for everyone.

Tomorrow, each of our pupils will aim to complete at least one intentional act of kindness to benefit someone else.

Maybe all our school community and followers would like to get in on the act tomorrow too. 😊

No matter what you decide to do, your act of kindness will unite you with others dedicated to changing the world one kind act at a time. ❤️
