Warwick Academy brought color and cheer to Middle Road yesterday morning [May 16] during its Mental Health Awareness Drive-by/Wave-by event.
A spokesperson said, “Yesterday morning, Warwick Academy brought a burst of yellow energy to Middle Road with its successful Mental Health Awareness Drive-by/Wave-by Event—part of the school’s vibrant “WellBEEing Month” campaign.
“Students and staff lined the school’s entrance before classes began, waving handmade signs and encouraging morning commuters to BEEp their horns in support of mental health awareness. The cheerful buzz of honking cars and smiling faces set the tone for a day focused on kindness, connection, and community.
“The event is just one highlight in a month-long initiative designed to reduce stigma, build emotional resilience, and remind everyone that small acts of care—just like bees—can create something powerful when we work together.
“This May, Warwick Academy has transformed into a hive of compassion and creativity. Led by the school’s dedicated Primary and Secondary Wellbeing Teams, the ‘WellBEEing Month’ campaign encourages students and staff to reflect on mental health with open hearts and bright yellow spirit.
“The theme? The humble bee—small, vital, and full of purpose—offering the perfect symbol of how individual acts of kindness and support can come together to make a lasting impact.
“Each week features a new uplifting message that inspires students to explore the values that help us thrive mentally and emotionally:
- BEE Kind – Exploring how simple gestures of kindness can make a big difference
- BEE You – Embracing authenticity and celebrating what makes us unique
- You BEElong Here – Promoting inclusion and the power of belonging
- BEElieve in Yourself – Building confidence and self-worth
“With guidance from the Counselling Department, students have been participating in themed activities and discussions during Homeroom and Circle Time, helping to create a safe and supportive space for mental health conversations across all age groups.
“Today’s Grub Day also raised funds for Amber’s Wings, a local organization supporting youth mental health—ensuring the impact of this campaign extends beyond the school gates.”
“We’re so proud of the creativity, commitment, and compassion our students and staff have shown,” shared Kim Siwiec, Head of Counselling Services. “Together, we’re helping our community BEE kinder, more connected, and more aware of how we can support ourselves and each other.”
