Kristopher Knight teaches science at the school and feels issues with mental health are one of the biggest problems facing schools.
He said: “We are seeing students not attending lessons and a lot of this is about a lack of provisions in and out of schools, because of external factors such as funding.”
“We are not professionals [when it comes to mental health], we are there to support students but our main priority is being in the classroom to teach them,” he added.
Asked about what he thought of the idea the girls had come up, with Mr Knight said he was proud of what they had achieved.
“Any support we can throw out to our students, and any small things they can do themselves or talk to parents about can only be a positive thing,” he added.
“I couldn’t think of anything better to champion than young people’s mental health.”
