Wellbeing
Wellbeing Committee
We are committed to Wellbeing in our school. Over the past few years, our School Self Evaluation has focused on Wellbeing in our school. A Wellbeing Committee has been created to ensure that pupil voice is central to our school’s development of Wellbeing.
The Wellbeing Committee has helped to develop a definition of what Wellbeing is for us as a school community. For us, Wellbeing is:
Being Healthy in our bodies by being Fit and Eating Healthily;
Having Good Mental Health;
Feeling Safe;
Having a sense of Belonging;
Inclusion;
Friendship;
Being Kind:
Being Happy
Committee Members: Blake, Iseult, Donnacha, Kasey, Ava, April, Katieann, Darcy and Sophie
Wellbeing Month
We celebrate Wellbeing Month each year in June. All classes take partin many different activities throughout the week which focus on all the different aspects of Wellbeing. Throughout the month, classes complete Wellbeing Journals, wellbeing activities and listen to stories based on wellbeing and inclusion.
Wellbeing Month 2024
This year, every class in the school is contributing to a whole school display entitled, “I am” which will be fantastic once complete. This week in assembly we will be all singing a song together “Power in Me” to remember how special we are in our own way. All classes received a yoga session to help to centre and reconnect. It was a lovely opportunity to take time out, relax and breathe. The junior classes are took part in Wellbeing Stations and senior classes completed projects based on the topic of Inclusion.
To mark the end of Wellbeing and Inclusion Week, we held a non-uniform day where children could wear their own clothes and show off their own individual styles. The school community raised €388 for AsIam. AsIam is a wonderful charity which strives to ensure that people with Autism have the same chance as others in relation to going to school, living their lives, getting jobs and accessing public services. They work hard for advocacy, development of resources and support. Thank you to all families who donated to the charity on our school’s behalf.
