On Monday the 2^nd of August, Mrs Phillips began her Aromatherapy Workshop, with the assistance of Ms Pollard. For the year 11/12s, this lesson is a part of their Personal Health and Wellbeing course taught at the Senior Secondary Centre at Prospect. For the High School students, this was an amazing opportunity to learn the history of essential oils and about natural medicine and the role they both play in our everyday lives. Each student took away an aromatherapy blend that they created themselves.

In this session, all students involved were full of questions and smiles; Mrs Phillips received a large amount of positive feedback.

• “I enjoyed all parts of the session and found it incredibly interesting.”
• “I liked how the history of essential oils still has such an impact in our lives.”
• “I enjoyed learning about what the specific oils help with.”
• “Everything was super fun. Thanks for the experience. ?”

These sessions are available for any 9/10 student who is interested in Aromatherapy and alternative therapies. The PHS Senior Secondary team will run other workshops including massage and herbal therapies during the term.
