Many young people are struggling with their mental health right now and that’s why days like Hello Yellow matter. By teaching young people to explore their feelings, how to talk about them and who to reach out to for help, we’re giving them the tools they need. By raising funds for YoungMinds, we’re making sure that they have access to support when it matters most. **What's happening this week** Throughout the week, students will take part in assemblies focused on mental health, wellbeing and attendance helping to promote positive conversations and understanding around this important topic. **Wear Something Yellow on Friday 9th October** On Friday, we're inviting all students to **wear something yellow** alongside their normal school uniform in exchange for a **£1 donation (payable via ParentPay)**. This could be a yellow t shirt, yellow socks or a yellow hair ribbon. All proceeds will go towards supporting young people's mental health. **Bake Sale on Friday 9th October at Brunch Time** We’ll be hosting a **bake sale in the Main Hall during brunch time**, organised with the help of some of our fantastic students. Payment for the cakes will be in cash. **We need your help!** We're asking for donations of homemade or shop-bought cakes, brownies, cookies, or any other sweet treats to help make our bake sale a success. **Important information for donations:** - If you're making homemade treats, please provide a **list of ingredients and allergens** with your donation - We **cannot accept any treats containing nuts** - Please bring donations to Miss Goode in the LSC All money raised will support YoungMinds, every contribution, whether a donation or a baked treat, will make a real difference. **Providing Mental Health Help and Advice** Most importantly, we want to share the resources which YoungMinds offer to support parents and carers if you ever need help and advice. This includes: • Online resources [Parents Mental Health Support \| Advice for Your Child \| Young Minds](https://www.youngminds.org.uk/parent/) • A phoneline service for parents and carers to speak to trained professionals if you’re concerned about your children’s mental health: 0808 802 5544 (Open 9.30am-4pm) • As well as an online chat and email service [Parents Helpline \| Mental Health Help for Your Child \| Young Minds](https://www.youngminds.org.uk/parent/parents-helpline/) [![](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/Back_to_School_(3).png)](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/news/2026-08-24-welcome-back-to-school-september-2026) Previous ### [Welcome Back to School: September 2026](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/news/2026-08-24-welcome-back-to-school-september-2026) [![](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/c21fc3cf-87cc-4a0e-8f14-7c079f93f10e.jpeg)](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/news/2026-10-23-we-are-alder-autumn-2026) Next ### [We Are ALDER: Autumn 2026](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/news/2026-10-23-we-are-alder-autumn-2026) ### About Us - [Vision and Values](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/about-us) - [Newsletters and News Items](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/news) - [The ALDER Way](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/the-alder-way) - [Governance](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/about-us/governance) - [Senior Leadership Team](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/about-us/SLT) - [Staff](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/about-us/staff) - [Admissions](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/about-us/admissions) - [Pupil Premium](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/about-us/pupil-premium) - [Ofsted](http://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/inspection-reports/find-inspection-report/provider/ELS/134283) - [School Performance](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/about-us/school-performance) - [School Financial Information](https://schools-financial-benchmarking.service.gov.uk/School?urn=134283) - [Alder Alumni](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/alder-alumni) - [Policies](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/policies) - [Facilities Hire](https://actihire.org.uk/alder-community-high-school-hire/) - [Vacancies](https://www.tes.com/jobs/employer/alder-community-high-school-1014005) - [Contact us](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/contact) - [Complaints](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/compaints) - [![Rainbow Flag Award](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Untitled_design_(1).png)](https://www.rainbowflagaward.co.uk/) - ![AcSEED](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Untitled_design_(2).png) - ![CPOMS Student Safe](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Cpoms_student_safe.png) - ![CPOMS Staff Safe](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Cpoms_staff_safe.png) - [![ParentPay](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Untitled_design_(4).png)](https://www.parentpay.com/) ##### Location Mottram Old Road Gee Cross Hyde Greater Manchester SK14 5NJ ##### Contact Us 0161 368 5132 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/AlderCommunityHigh/) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPHzqAhyNS44u4g5Tk20eWA) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/alder-community-high-school) © Copyright 2018–2026 Alder Community High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/img/logo/dark.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
