Congratulations to Fifth Year students, Ava Callery, Lucía Keane, Daisy Gernon and Jodie Loughran who won their Spanish debate tonight against Coláiste Pobail Setanta in St. Benildus College, Stillorgan, Dublin. The topic was AI - Artificial Intelligence. Lucía captained the team and also won the award for Best Speaker. Debating a complex topic like AI through Spanish is no easy task! The girls put a lot of work into their speeches and rebuttals, so we are very, very proud of their achievements. The Debating Blitz was organised by the Association of Teachers of Spanish in Ireland.

Eureka welcomes Richard Hogan on Monday 11th September - ALL welcome!
Richard Hogan, Clinical Director of the Therapy Institute, will gave a talk for parents of teenagers at 7.30pm on Monday 11th September. He is the author of the best-selling book, “Parenting the Screenager, a practical guide for parents of the modern child”. He utilises many fascinating case studies from his years of experience to help parents understand strategic approaches to their teenager’s mental health issues. These strategies developed by Richard over his years working with teenagers are some of the most significant and progressive approaches to adolescent behaviour in recent times. He has a particularly progressive approach to building levels of communication in relationships.

Safer Internet Day (SID) is an EU-wide initiative to promote a safer internet for all users, especially young people. The internet is an integral part of our lives, providing fantastic opportunities to learn, create and connect, but the online world also creates challenges.
Parents/ Guardians are encouraged to have open and regular conversations with their children about the internet. To talk to them about the benefits and the risks, but also to listen to what their child has to say and to learn about their life online. Research consistently shows that many children do not tell if something goes wrong online. Having conversations with your daughter is one of the most effective ways of ensuring that they have a safe and positive experience, and to help them to feel comfortable coming to you if they encounter an issue. There are lots of resources available on Webwise.ie and on the Webwise social media platforms to help educate us on our digital lives. In Eureka, the Webwise Team, led by the Safer Internet Ambassadors and in conjunction with the Wellbeing Team, is hosting several events during the week, including presentations, peer learning and a poster competition with the theme “Together for a Better Internet”. | ||
