🎨🪨 Keep your eyes peeled! We will be hiding painted stones in various locations around Orkney for you to find.

If you discover one, we'd love to see it! 📸 Please take a photo and share it, and if you'd like, re-hide the stone somewhere new for someone else to enjoy.

Don't forget to tag the School Health Team so we can see all your fantastic finds! Happy hunting! 😊

Alison had the pleasure of meeting some of the soon-to-be P1 children at a Health and Wellbeing event organised by Stromness Nursery.

This was valuable work in supporting transitions, one of the School Nursing Priority Pathways.

Good luck to all the children starting school in August!
