Arcadia Club
Arcadia, meaning a place offering peace and simplicity, is a club set up to combat mental health issues. Fortnightly, students meet to relax in a stress-free environment in the hall. The club is returning following the pandemic. Student can detox from any worries inside or outside of school. Promoted by our student wellbeing ambassadors, the club aims to create a positive atmosphere for students inside of school.
