A huge thank you to all students and staff who supported Walk in my Shoes today. It was also great to see so many classes get out for a walk and to try and get their 10,000 steps in before leaving school. Well done to Emma O’Brien who is our joke of the day winner. Tomorrow our TYs will walk from Mellary back to school. 1st years have Tug of War at lunchtime and there are also many in class events being run.
Walk in my Shoes

A gentle reminder to all staff and students that tomorrow we are having ‘Walk in my Shoes’ as part of Wellbeing Week. Walk in my Shoes is the awareness-raising education campaign of St Patrick's Mental Health Service. The focus of this campaign is to encourage us all to think of what it is like to walk in other people's shoes before we pass judgement. We sometimes do not know the problems and issues that others face. We are asking all students and staff to support this campaign by wearing different colour shoes or some standout shoes, odd shoes, wellies, high heels etc!!. You do not have to wear them for the day! It would be great to see as many students and staff support this like you did last year.
