Parenting the Screenager - Richard Hogan

Picture
Picture
​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.

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.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our former colleague and friend, Mrs. Kitty McGonagle. She was the first Deputy Principal/ Vice-Principal of Eureka (1972-1998) and a brilliant Home Economics teacher for many years. Always a lady with a wonderful smile and a kind heart. We remember her for her dedication and professionalism. Our thoughts and condolences are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dilís. ​
