Our TY YSI class Rang Fionn were delighted to welcome the crew & cameras of RTE to Eureka to film in advance of a Primetime programme the station are producing on the issue of loneliness & social isolation. They also were invited into TV3 for their morning show. Nora Barry took the lead on the coach. This comes on the back of the project being shortlisted for a National award in Croke Park on May 15th. Entitled ‘Never Home Alone’ the 8-week programme sees TY students take part in various activities with older people to help connect the generations and address the issue of loneliness and associated mental health problems. Well done to the girls in the National Finals. Teacher: Mr McKee.

One of many activities been held in the school this week, to promote good Mental Health of our Whole School community. All year groups were involved in a very successful and fun Skipathon, organised by Ms. Brady and held at lunch time today. Thanks to all the students and teachers who participated. Students have also been given a "journal" to complete for themselves that incorporates the 5 strategies to Good Mental Health, Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, Give. Tutors delivered talks in all classes to educate students on each strategy and how they can incorporate these into their everyday lives. We would encourage all members of the school community to take on the challenge of completing the journal over 5 days. We hope this will be of benefit to all our Mental Health, and we will find it a useful tool going forward. The Well-being Student & Teacher Team.
Thanks to all who helped out with Open Evening
