Gratitude station (primary)

Friday 19 September 2025 - noon - 1pm
Students' Union front room, Arthur Edwards building, Stratford

As you begin your journey into teaching, take a quiet moment to reflect on the people who helped get you here—the teacher who believed in you, the friend who encouraged you, the family member who never let you give up. 

At our gratitude station, you’ll have the chance to write a personal letter to someone who inspired you to pursue this path. Either do this separately or use your first few pages of your new journal to record these thoughts! Whether you choose to send it, keep it in your journal, or just write it for yourself, this is a space to pause and connect with your why

We’ll provide: 

  • Letter-writing materials (stationery, envelopes, pens, prompts) 

  • A quiet, calming space for reflection and writing 

  • Time to slow down before the next part of your day 

This is an optional, drop-in style activity, but one we think you’ll find meaningful and grounding as you step into the year ahead.
