Why this Penarth school is bringing in two goats to the classroom this week ACTION for Children’s Headlands School is taking delivery of two pygmy goats during Mental Health Awareness Week (May 10 to 16) to boost its collection of animals aiding students’ education and mental wellbeing. With nature as the theme for this year’s awareness week, the day and residential special school in Penarth, Wales has embedded animal husbandry and outdoor vocational work into its philosophy and curriculum. Over the past 18 months, the school has acquired alpacas, chickens, ducks and a companion dog with students actively involved in all aspects of their care - from feeding the animals to building and maintaining their living areas.
