Today, Wednesday 6th March 2024, marks Le Cheile day. The theme for this year is 'The Gift of Gratitude'.
At reception we have a display which includes some inspirational quotes of gratitude, benefits of gratitude and a tree whereby students in Religion classes were invited to write the things that they are grateful for.
Ms Groome's and Ms Wall's 5th year Religion classes hosted a successful coffee morning for the staff of CPC. This included hot drinks and sweet and yummy treats. Staff and students shared a lovely morning break.
1st and 2nd years were encouraged to write a letter to a person they are grateful for and why. This was a great opportunity for them to reflect on the people who have meaning to them.
Students were also asked to fill a google forms and name a teacher/staff member they are grateful for and why. Staff received these lovely words this morning.
Staff also got into the spirit of gratitude by expressing their thanks to each other.
Random acts of kindness are encouraged today to all in our school community! Do/say something nice for someone who means a lot to you.
Thank you to all who were involved in today's activities. A day of thanks, appreciation and feel-goodness was evident throughout the day!
Happy Le Cheile Day to all!

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Hau Nguyen. My research partner, Michelle Conway and I are Masters students from the School of Psychology at University College Dublin. At present, we are conducting research examining adolescent mental health and their intentions to seek help. As part of this research, UCD's school of Psychology have organised a free webinar series for parents/teachers or anyone interested in adolescent mental health.
The three webinar talks will take place on the 5th, 12th and 19th of March from 7-8 pm. We are pleased to announce that we have secured the participation of esteemed speakers, namely, Dr. Ciara Mahon, Professor Eilis Hennessy, and Associate Professor Paul D’Alton, all of whom are experts in adolescent mental health. Their contribution to the event promises to be invaluable, as they bring a wealth of knowledge and experience that will undoubtedly enrich our knowledge in supporting adolescent mental health.
We would truly appreciate your help informing parents/teachers about the webinar series.
