Gaisce Hike Cancellation Notice

Dear Parent/Guardian(s), Unfortunately due to the extension of school closure we will be unable to go on the Gaisce Hike on the 8th and 9th of May. For students partaking in the Bronze award for Gaisce an alternative will be provided once the social distancing measures have been lifted. When school is functioning as normal again these will be outlined for your daughter. Similarly if she has had to postpone her personal skill, physical activity or community involvement, these will also be discussed and altered if necessary. Regards, Ms. Phillips
Welcome back!

Well done for all your remote learning successes to date. It has been a challenging change to how we do things so congratulate yourself on last term's efforts. Whether you felt your successes were big or small (or barely there at all!), you have come a long way in learning to manage new things and you have the opportunity now to build on this over the next few weeks with your teachers' help. As we get going again, remember to take things in small steps. Stick to the timetable as much as possible, ask for help when you need it, take breaks along the way and remind yourself you're doing a great job in a challenging situation... No matter how hard it might sometimes feel, remember we're all in this together, let's help each other along the way. Have a good first day back!

Keeping busy...easier said than done?!

Keeping busy can be harder when so many of our usual hobbies have been interrupted by the social distancing rules, which are hard, but so, so important. It's important to keep busy because it keeps our positivity levels up. Our Sports Captain, Ciara, challenged us to rethink boredom and to see it as a good sauce to make things (lots of time at home!) more appetising... The challenge is what to do! Here are a few ideas to get you thinking: All-rounders: loads of ideas here for many hobbies: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LDR2Du9KZ0Eq5-OCDmyecQDAcgVj_q-1?usp=sharing Readers: www.librariesireland.ie (Join the library for free access to ebooks, audiobooks, newspapers, magazines) Artists: thekildaregallery.ie/the-kildare-gallery-childrens-art-competition/ Rugby fans: www.leinsterrugby.ie/leinster-rugby-season-ticket-scarf-competition/ Those of you needing some supports to get your head around things: jigsawonline.ie/coronavirus-and-youth-mental-health/ Make a plan for tomorrow!
