World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day

Last Friday October 10th to mark World Mental Health Day we launched our wellbeing activities for the coming school year.

Our focus was “Empathy”. Each of our pupils partnered up and took turns talking and listening to each other’s life in school. Their chat focused on things that make them happy, sad and/or angry during their school day. We called it the “Walk in my Shoes” activity and we hope the activity will encourage more of an appreciation for pupils’ unique feelings and challenges during their school day.

Our pupils followed this activity with a mindful walk around our school grounds. Some of our senior classes participated in a very beneficial Online Mental Health Talk called “Mind Your Mind” on the day too.

Huge thank you to everyone for your incredible support for our school fundraiser last Friday, the total fund raised so far is 504euro.

Camogie and Hurling Blitz

Our 4th, 5th and 6th class girls and boys teams took part in the recent Sciath na Scoil camogie/hurling blitz held in St Colums GAA club, Kealkill last Thursday morning.

Well done to all involved in the organisation of this competition.

Last Thursday was a grading blitz to see what school teams would be suited to play against our school in another blitz in the coming weeks.

Both our teams played 3 games each against Bandon Primary School, Coomhola NS and Scoil Mhuire & Barra. 

Our boys and girls teams showed great skill, endeavor, and attitude in all their games.

Our pupils attitude was even more special due to the fact that some of our pupils were experiencing their first game of hurling/ camogie on the day.

Well done everybody for giving your all smile
